Question Question for those with Projector HIDs

I am thinking about getting a legit hid with projectors for my 01 ws6, and i had a question for those with the kit. Mostly im concerned with seeing signs on the highway or road signs. With the cutoff in the legal position are they still reflective enough to be able to see them? I know the fogs might help a little bit, but i was planning on also turning them into a 35w projectored HID. I am just concerned about still being able to light up the signs, i do travel alot and like to drive my car. Any help would be great, thanks!

I don't know how any of the "kits" perform...but, my C6 projectors I retrofitted perform flawlessly. I don't have any problem with the street signs illuminating enough for them to be seen at night. I live out where there aren't any street lamps on the side of the road and people continually flash their high beams at me because they don't grasp that HIDs are a lot brighter than standard halogens. I'm lowered and my projector beams cutoff is about level with that of the current C6s.

I have the Blackbird Lighting Solutions low beam kit. It actually lights up signs more than stock. Signs just POP with these lights. It's a very nice effect.
