E-Code with a flat cut off and the typical wing to light road signs/pedestrians/etc. Notice no glare to on coming eyeballs
This is a 'Z' beam pattern, as some folks complain about that 'wing' wedge
This is one without the 'wing'
Best automotive lighting guy is Daniel Stern and his web site clicky:
Daniel Stern Lighting
His bulb spec page and why I love H1's and any 'rally' QH bulbs in 'glass'

Daniel Stern Lighting, bulb spec
Some, to date, North American Headlamps have 'tried' to copy the sharp

above where E-Code would have a sharp cutoff
PS...careful where and who you buy from. Daniel Stern's stuff is the
'good' stuff...I have no affiliation with Daniel Stern, other than am
very pleased with both his info and products
