Default Retrofit labs projector comparison video

Hi guys, thought you might like to see a comparison I made of the before/after fitting replacement projectors (fitted to my partners 2009 C30) as I had seen others mention on here:

Unfortunately it was wet in the before, but I assure you this is a fairly accurate picture of the difference you see when driving.

Generally very pleased - they are obviously much brighter. My only concern is there is absolutely zero light above the cut-off, so they don't seem to light up signs etc very well.

I'm considering trying the original lenses in the new reflector units to try to get some of the diffused light above the cut-off back - has anyone else tried this?
