so what gives some headlights their distinct cutoff line and super spread beam pattern?
the TL has one of the clearest i've seen. I drove an 05 camry a while back and it had the cutoff also when i shined it against a wall.

so what causes it?

Projectors are what give off the distinct clear cutoff. There are two types of projectors out there, halogen and hid projectors. They are pretty much self explanatory with the names.

yea im pretty sure the 05 camry doesn't have projectors, but i could be wrong....
projectors help aim the beam in front rather just blast it like a lightbulb
u could always get a retrofit....it'll cost u money but im sure ud enjoy it

^ ^^;...

also has to do with the lens of the projectors... stanley lens provide a nice bluish white cutoff line, while the valeos tend to give out a slight purple cutoff line. i think the bosch has a nice deep blue cutoffline... but i could be wrong.
