i personally like the glossy 9 version better - the flat black looks kinda tacky - but i like how the jdm version has the orange/amber signal indicator highlighted - to bad they're not crash test approved for the usdm version - yeah low blow there

When ordering the IX MR Headlights do I need the non HID or HID version if I already have oem HID?
Also the JDM DC ITR Headlights aim to the left of the road, do the JDM Evo Headlights do this also?

Has anyone ever stopped to think about the JDM lights for a second?
They are made for RHD vehicles meaning the left side is the one pointing up to light up the signs next to the road... Putting those on a LHD car means you're shining in the face of oncoming traffic unless you buy the JDM lights, open em up and get the projectors aligned properly...
Or is that something that doesn't matter since the guy that's coming towards you gets shined in the face and thinks "WOAH DUDE! JDM LIGHTS!!!"

^^ You couldnt be more wrong. I modify headlights for members on my local forum so I know the ins and outs of each compontent of a CT9A headlight. Even CZ4A HLs as well..
I think youre refering "adjustment" to being able to alter the beam pattern:
- UP or DOWN &
- LEFT & RIGHT
from the adjustment screws at the back of the headlight.
You cant switch / mirror image the profile of the cutoff shield inside the projector from RHD to LHD. Its a fixed all in one metal unit...
Back to the drawing board
