"euro" Headlamps

Has anyone installed these and had problems with vehicle inspections since they are for right hand drive?

You'd probably have to ask other people from your state. If you have the clear sidemarkers, I know those aren't legal, but no idea if an inspector in your area would actually notice. Also, I don't imagine they'd notice that the headlights were designed for RHD unless they were checking your car at night.

normally the way it works is clear(white) in the front, yellow on the sides, and red in the rear.

I am talking about the ones with projectors and Halos. Most ads I've seen call them "euro" but I believe they are probably from Japan. I am not concerned about the markers as a bulb change can fix that. I am worried about the RHD part. The beam cutoff would be in the wrong place and likely blind drivers coming the other way.
