JDM MR Headlights + HID fogs installed.
Well, hated the look of the stock tails, so i had to upgrade to the JDM tails.
Well, then the didn't match the headlights so i had to swap those too. Used an old 5k HID kit from my rsx, and custom fabbed it into the fog spot.

also: the adjusting motors that the usdm has, works for both the high and low beams, whereas it only works for the low beam on the jdm.

i didn't adjust them at all, and if you did, you'd want to actually adjust them left. see the big white spot on the left, if you can move that farther left, it'd actually be better on oncoming traffic's eyes.
Note: this is with them on the 0 setting (highest), when i turn then down, they get significanly lower, and less blinding, but they will always blind.
edit: tonight i'm gonna go out and lower the drivers side one, and pump the passenger one up.

You have to remember to that the picture of the light beam is not that far from the garage door. From far away, it might be blinding to oncoming cars. Also if it's to blinding and a cop is coming at you, he can pull you over and give you a fix it ticket to have your headlights adjusted. Not kidding. A couple of my friends got pulled over when they bought an aftermarket headlights for their Acuras and didn't really care about the light beam and got a fix it ticket.

also, if you guys compare the beam from one to the other, you see the drivers side is pointed higher than the stock drivers side, and the passengers side is lower, compared to stock.

The JDM are for RHD, bc they drive on the other side of the road this isn't a prob for them, but is a common problem with importing these to the US. The Shield inside the projector is backwards(opposite) DOT and you will need to open the projector and flip it or trim it to change the output so it's not blinding oncomers.

DOT = ____/-----
