Yes, as long as you get the projectors from TRS they all have a cutoff. They're not the cheap pNp HID kits

They've been doing great. No moisture in them, no issues with durability, and they get comments from ALL my passengers. Haven't been flashed by anyone, and haven't gotten any tickets. Honestly, most people think they are stock on the truck until I tell them they are custom headlights.

I did a retro-fit on my 2004 F150. It cost me about $350 and 10 hours of my time. Here's some pics from my gallery:
And a guide on how to complete the project here:

The parts were purchased from The Retrofit Source:
Apollo Shrouds (also known as Cayenne shrouds)
FX-R Projectors
5000k bulbs
AMP to D2S bulb adapters (so I could reuse my plug-n-play wiring and ballasts)
ALL OF THIS WORK (minus install) WAS DONE BY RICH AT HID ILLUSIONZ. The work was done in 2 days and the shipping is as fast as you want to pay for.
They were EXCELLENT to work with from start to finish; this was over a month in the making for me. They offered to sell me all necessary parts for the project and do the work, but also said I was free to shop around for better prices and send them the parts if I did find better prices. They sent in-progress pictures of all the work, and even did changes to my liking on the side marker tinting when I wanted it darker than originally done. They always respond quickly, and even called me on the phone when I sent an email with my phone number because of a troubleshooting problem I had during installation.
Please check out their website if you are at all considering getting work like this done. Many processes are done complimentary if having a retrofit done (color-mod for the lens, reflector painting, side marker tinting, etc....). They also offer group discounts for the forum if at least 5 people do it at once.
Unrelated: I also custom tinted my tail lights and will be tinting the orange reflectors on the backs of my mirrors. Please stay tuned for that thread; it will show the final products of the head lights, mirrors, and tail lights.
