Outlander and Airtrek are different fronts on, "same car" otherwise but front is different for CU2W and CU4W etc. Headlights vary on Outlanders and Airtreks, along with the entire front as well (minus the wheel-arches, that are the same).

So the dual section style headlights from the Airtrek are not exactly easy to find as LHD, but the Outlander ones came in both LHD and RHD

I'm wanting to do a Airtrek Conversion on my Outlander and I'm struggling with the headlight-beam situation (as JDM RHD beams are not legal here in Norway where I'm from, but U.S "flat-beam" is legal, even though we have "left-side flat, right angle-up"-beams here, aka "european headlight beam pattern"), been finding some seemingly LHD Airtreks in videos on youtube, that seem to be "stock" cars.. but have no clue what the headlights are like (if they are LHD with RHD-beams etc)
In the end I made my own headlights. I retro fitted VW Mk7.5 projectors into the airtrek housings. I’m sure you can also install a set of projectors into the Airtrek headlights and aim them the right way to be legal in your country.

Sadly it is not legal to retrofit projectors in Europe into headlights that do not come with projectors already, so the only hope might be bulb/anti-glare shield modification it seems. Talked to the conversion dudes in the netherlands about it and they just have the competency or skills for it, only bolt-in mods type of conversions.

Man nice Airtrek/Outlander build....you have severely tempted me to do more stuff to my newly acquired Outlander which is meant to be only a daily driver and not another project

As a gearhead, i can't leave things alone so I want to at least lower it and put some wheels at least to have a nice looking daily.

Your wheel setup is absolutely on point with the offset i would like, so I am looking to see if you can provide me the wheel and tire specs with your setup.

Thank you in advance.
