Same here, my projectors are not as bright as the one you have here. I have 8000K.

help yourself and post some pics of the cutoff....if possible from 10ft to 25ft and then 50ft+ (the real driving distance).

why your output is not enough or bright is dependent on a long list of things? age of the bulb and its K, the condition/mounting of the projector, condition of your ballats...wiring etc. even the condition, curvature and leveling of your headlamp can impact the overall output.

the clear the projector...the higher and the sharper the light (like the TSX, TL, FX45 for eg.). which year Audi your proj came from..cuz some use valeo and some use hella or ZKTW and these vary in quality.
