If anyone has done this, PLEASE post so i can have 100% certainty before i make a purchase
if those lights are for the japanese market, you are going to have wrong cut off and actually have less visibility where you want it.
us light pattern : __/ __/
japan : \__ \__
or does it not do that?

he's right...something with the beam pattern. The beam pattern for U.S. spec cars is different because we drive on the right side of the road. While in Japan, you drive on the left side of the road. Notice how when you put your HID's against a wall the right side tends to be a little higher than the left. That's what poohlvhun is talking about.
