I just moved my USDM AP2 to Japan. I had to purchase JDM AP1 (more affordable) lights because the actual projector beam is opposite. They were direct plug and play. The beam shape itself is not adjustable. It is designed in the projector. You could get away with JDM lights in the US but not USDM in Japan because I don't think anywhere in the states inspects cars like they do here. USDM is like __/-- and JDM is like --\__ , It will probably just annoy oncoming traffic.

You get these and I hope that everyother a hole on the road is constantly flashing their brights at you all night long.
EDIT: For clarification, you can adjust the height of the beam, not the shape.

Like I said, you angle the driver side down. It's not perfect, but it's certainly better than just blinding everyone on the opposite side of the road. Even then, I can't think of a freeway that the walls are not high enough to block the beam from hitting oncoming traffic. Really, the only time you're going to be hitting people with the edge of the beam is on surface streets, from a distance.
If you really wanted to you could bake the headlights open and swap the projectors out with those from the USDM versions. Then you get the JDM lights with the USDM beam pattern.

Done.
I understand what you're saying in regards to bothering other people, but if you want to play that game go start finger pointing at loud exhausts, test pipes, turbo kits, or any other number of modifications that people do to their cars that could potentially bother other people.
You feel the need to troll so have at it. Direct whatever you want at me, I don't really care. I was here answering questions and providing information to people.
Done.
