The beam itself is a non-issue. Let me explain how USDM projector cutoffs work versus UK/AUDM/DE projectors. USDM projectors have a cutoff like this ____------ which is a mostly straight line.
UKDM/EUDM projectors have a cut-off line shaped like this _____/ which is a straight line that turns up at a 45* angle or so on the RH side. My Volvo had a set of ABM projectors (retrofitted with HIDs) with euro cutoff and it was never an issue, the lights looked great and nobody "flashed" me to say "your headlights are blinding me" and the lit up the road great.
One more piece of advice for anyone considering HIDs:
Available in "Color Temperatures" rated in Kelvin, HIDs can be had in a spectrum of color ranging from yellow (3000k) to purple (12000k). The color temperature has a huge effect on the amount of light output visible to your eyes (lumens). The BRIGHTEST bulbs will be between 3800k-5000k, ideally around 4300k for the most visible light output. If you get 12000k, hardly any visible light will be output, you'll be dimmer than your OEM headlights and everyone else WILL laugh at you for making such a stupid mistake. 6000k is where you should go if you want your lights to be a bright blue, but again this is slightly less output than 4300k. I do not recommend higher than 6000k for any street-use application, because going higher than that literally defeats the purpose of having HIDs at all.
