Sorry if this is a repost (I'm almost positive it is but im too doped up to want to search for my answer) but where can I buy some projector headlights at?
Anyone.... Anyone?... Ferris?

hehe i'm getting confused biggrin.gif

The thing is, the JDM headlights are made for RHD cars (and they drive on the left side of the road)
Cars in the UK are the same as in Japan. but in the rest of europe is it the opposit way. The cars are LHD and we are driving on the right side of the road.

So far, totally clear this part smile.gif
[just to make sure that i have got everything right]

But how can i adjust the JDM lights to a LHD car? is there a screw or something like that?
It's is really important for me to know.

The thing is, to have RHD lamps on a LHD car is illegal in the Netherlands!
If i cannot adjust the lamps enough, i have to convert them and that wil cost me loads of Euro's/dollars smile.gif ~ 500 euro's = 650 dollar, only to convert them!

The main thing on all projector assembly is wall in front of reflector:

The metal thingy. it cuts of the light, so you get the almost straight line of cutoff.
LHD cars have projectors with cutoff like this:

RHD have the cut off line revesed (flip horizontal) (im not 100%, but it may be this..)

This needed what the side of the road must be lightned more then the center of the road, to see objects on the side of the road...

Depending on the cut off patchs (see the picture) the lines will be at different angles. Myne BMW projectors (that i used in my headlights) have cut off with almost straight light path,so they can be used either on LHD or RHD

if your projectors will have very small difference in cut off line heighs you can use them without reworking...

another case you can lower your lighs a bit, so you wount blind anyone on the road (this will reduce your visibility), or either open your headlights, remove projector assembly and rotate the metal wall, so you can have the LHD setup. it is not what hard,and it can be done easily by anyone, but the major problem is to open headlights... But this already been solved with the boiling water technic.. smile.gif

Any more questions?
