I'm not sure about this but I believe someone said those are for RHD cars. The beam pattern isn't meant for cars that drive on the right side of the road. Someone here made a post about them last week. The CEFIRO one piece lights that are being sold on the ORG are for LHD I believe and wouldn't really be a problem. Just repeating what was mentioned before.

yea minor if you want to have almost a 1/2" gap between your headlight and fender.

Thanks, that's what I thought. With the lights being for RHD cars, you will BLIND oncoming traffic.

I think they are LHD like our cars. I got sentra headlights from this dude. The headlights come from Taiwan and they drive on the left hand like us. My headlights have a perfect beam pattern.

There isn't such a big gap (prolly not even 1/4 inch), and the modifications will only take like 15 minutes if you know what you doing.

why would it matter if the lights were for a LHD or RHD car??-- what is the exact difference in the beam that makes a difference? I never would have thought there was a difference

Their just not unique looking. To the normal person, they look like stock lights. What we need is true projectors, not custom one-offs (from the talented .org'ers). When the hell will someone get on the ball and make AFFORDABLE non-rediculously priced (i.e. 500+) projectors...

Ok...


In a right hand drive car (i.e. japan), the beam pattern is towards the left hand side, to not blind the oncoming traffic and vice versa.

If you have HID's, you can really see how pointed to the opposite side of the car they are...
