No warning, but the again i did modify them. Most ppl here will turn the beam down so it will not blind so much. But it will always be annoying for oncoming traffic unless you get the beam like all the way down. But then, whats the use of them if you cant see s**t!!

You CANT adjust them correctly. Thats the problem.

LHD Have beams running like this
user posted image

Now if you mirror that image you will have the RHD version. So what normally lits the traffic signs and the rightside of the road will now blind oncoming traffic. So to avoid that u turn the light down. A LOT!!! But then the road is not lit correctly in front of you and the Projectors (That are alot brighter then your stock lights) have lost there use.

Also look at this topic

Projector Explination.

This was my only guide for modding the lights.

YOU wont have problems, people on the other side of the road would.

If you can cant the headlight counter clockwise from behind it, you'd elminate most of the problem.

Havent had anything be said about my non-DOT lights, but ill see when the car goes for inspection.

If anyone needs interior stuff, etc, I'm parting whats left of my celi out. Just ask.

I got pulled over by this mean a$$ cop for doing nothing. Anyways she went up and looked at them then asked if I installed them my self. I told her that they came straight from Toyota, and she asked me to turn them on. She went and stood in front of the car after I turned them on and she didn't say anything or hassel me any more about them. They are not adjusted or anything so I think you will be fine on the cop side of things.
