Don't live in Texas, sorry.

I was completely underwhelmed by the light thrown by my '07, so I upgraded them.  Very happy now.
Literally the ONLY way you have a cuttoff is if there is a shroud in front of the bulb:



The Ranger does not utilize anything like this in any way stock.  They literally have no cuttoff.  They have beam pattern.  (HID's have a movable cuttoff shield, this is how they use Hi-beam, the shield moves out of the way, unlike halogen bulbs that turn on an additional filament, brighter and in a new location.)

The whole yellow beam issue has been debated over the years.  They were even required by law in France for a long time.  Research on both directions is out there.  I think generally now it is acknowledged that yellow is of no huge benefit for fog or night, although yellow does cut out the blue in the light which is what causes the glare (another reason that PNP HID's suck so hard)
Here is a whole bunch of info on yellow beams http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/lights/light_color/light_color.html
