So im looking to replace my headlights on my 430 which have oem hid/auto level. I found a mint set of headlights from an aristo with oem hid/auto level.

My questions are, being aristo is rhd how will this affect light output/hid cutoff? Will it be plug and play? Are there any issues ill come in contact with? Thanks club lexus

Short version: you'll blind oncoming traffic. They'll be fine if you're doing a retrofit since you can purchase a set of LHD projectors. New [LHD] OEM can be bought on ebay for around $500 or less shipped if you search hard enough.

Is there no way to adjust?

I know it's done in the UK and Europe for the guys who've purchase/import RHD/LHD cars (dependent on country), but I'm unsure how they go about accomplishing it.

I have them in my car. Never had anyone flash their highbeams at me because I was blinding them...

I did adjust them using the normal adjustment screws. Didn't have any light beam alignment machine so I did it by looking at the beam pattern on a wall in front of the car. Been two years so I guess I did an ok job.

Everything is plug and play. The only thing with the JDM lights is they don't have the bubble level gauge on top. I don't think that's all that important. As far as I know those things just help you manually get the lights to a level setting (not absolutely required in order to make the initial level adjustments). After that the auto-level system keeps them level while driving.

I wouldn't recommend the Aristo lights without a retrofit.
I don't understand why one would intentionally cause harm to fellow motorists when there's legit options available.

I'm with you 100%.. but we've gone over this before in the last thread and people are still recommending others to do this

You could get the aristo lights and switch the reflector bowls to USDM ones. A bit of a hassle to open the housings just for that (if I was going that far I'd strongly recommend a retrofit, the stock hids suck) but it'd be an option to use the clean housings without the incorrect cutoff. If you do want to go that route I've got a set of bowls laying around you could have cheap.

i do plan on doing a retro in a few weeks, are your bowls hid? pm me prices, that would take alot of the prep time down if i had a set i could retro and throw in quickly
