2005 TL 6MT - HID headlights missing cutoff lines
hi there, my TL HID headlights had at one time the step cutoff line which is distinct. Now the lights are bright but just a big oval lighted up area when aiming at a wall. I have not found any info how to get the cutoff line back. All light parts are original but bulbs might have been changed in the past years. The head light lenses are clear. I removed the circular back cover of the light bulb area to look in but both sides look same and nothing looks broken. Any ideas where to start?

Can you show a pic of the headlights against the wall from 20 feet?

how to remove the light above the cutoff line, blue arch shows 'leaking' light above the cutoff line. I used a grey filter to make the cutoff line visible. but when looked at with the eye the cutoff line is not visible. just one large bright spot.

ty for the feedback, headlight housing lense are crystal clear and these are the low beam lights on. when high beams are turned on the HID turn off(I believe). not sure about bulbs but they should be seated properly as spring/clamp is holding bulbs.

HID stay on and only the shield drops down . Csn you take a picnof the headlights with the high beam on and off. . Have you replaced the bulbs recently, definitely possible for them to be seated improperly
