Thanks Bichon!

Would anybody know because Japanese Spec cars are right hand drive if the beam project ionwould be different on our cars if we installed Japan intended headlights?

I believe on US spec the driver's side beam is lower than the passenger's side to not blind the other driver on the opposite side.

That's probably true, when I drive at night my drivers side is noticeably dimmer than my passenger side, not sure if it is how it's aimed which can be manually adjusted or if it's some type of internal setting. I assume for Japanese specs it's opposite.

I think what WORKD250 was referring to is the beam pattern which can't be adjusted. Rhd projectors the step is higher on left opposed to lhd which is higher on right.

Ahh makes sense. If you adjust both a little lower making your cut off lower than normal I think that would be okay.

So if these are for HID's only. Couldn't one get an HID kit and get these also?

When I bought my car, it came with an F front facia and aftermarket headlights that I have no idea who makes them. I'm unable to aim them so one is higher than the other and the outside clear is peeling.

HID headlights have different bulbs, They use D1S-D4S bulbs.
