Evo MR JDM Headlights

I noticed that everyone sells only the MR JDM headlights. Where can I get a USDM MR headlights for a good price?

I only say this cuz the JDM ones probably have a funky pattern:

US: ___ ___
__/ __ /

JPN: ___ ___
____\__ \___

I had Civic Type R projectors in my EP and the lighting pattern was all backwards due to RHD. So do the JDM MR ones have this problem or is it just like the US ones?

JDM ones are aimed to left. I just installed mine last week. The only way to correct it is to pull the front plastic cover off the headlight and take out the lense. There is a cutoff you need to swap. I didn't want to take my new headlights apart so I just adjusted my right ones so they are higher and brighter.

I don't think the cutoff shield in the Evo projectors is removeable. What you can do, is swap out the JDM projectors for the U.S. ones. That will require you to open up your headlights though.

Here's a picture of the shield.

It will look a bit better, but it will never be right with out the swap.
