They have NO cutoff. The glass pattern is the same from top to
bottom. Only H4 (and earlier nonhalogen "European" headlights) have
cutoffs.

The idea is that HOPEFULLY these morons will realize their error...
but of course that's a vain hope. When an oncoming light glares I
look slightly to the left, which helps. Fortunately I don't have a
bad problem with glare-induced blindness, but some certainly do, my
wife f'r instance... this is a physiological problem.
