Those pics don't show the actual housings or beam pattern at 25ft so I can't really comment on overall quality, but I'm guessing they used aftermarket housings and drop-in LED bulbs, both of which already exist of varying quality and have been covered in other threads. Can you contact them to get better pictures (housings, bulbs, pics at 25ft to see beam against wall)?

I'm noticing that their other product pages don't show the actual product either, just a pic of a lit housing. Their kit breakdown doesn't list all the parts in the kit either. How do you know what will actually arrive in the mail? And their pictures are overblown, not showing actual/clear output.

how high should the cutoff be at 25ft?

On level ground with level car, about 2" below headlight center on the car, but on lower cars like ours, you can probably get away with level as long as you don't have excessive glare from a bad headlight setup.
