Guys,
this is not the case in the C4 based triple beam UrS6 headlights. The
flaring is built into the low beam projector, NOT the lens. I have
modified the hell out of my his European headlights and took them apart
at least there times: first to add tthe relays, then to replace the Low
beam projectors wiht hte HIDs.
