I would imagine that is going to blind the **** out of people worse than an HID bulb with no projector.

There will be a linear actuator raising and lowering a plate that will create a cut off line for night time driving
The actuator will open and close when high beam is engaged

I imagine that's going to take a lot of testing and experimenting to get that angle right to not blind people. Good luck.

You certainly will, a tight schedule along with a personal issues has limited the time and progress of this build but I will keep everyone updated
