JDM Headlights
I was looking to buy the European-spec headlights to replace my US-spec headlights, but MG Racing has to order them and that would take 3-4 weeks. So, I checked around and found JDM-spec headlights from JDMHondaParts.com for $840 a pair. The thing I'd like to know is should I worry about the RHD difference or can I adjust that? I would like to know if they'd work because they are cheaper than MG Racing plus they have 5 sets in stock. Cheaper and no waiting, please tell me I can make them work.

The notch in the beam pattern from your stock headlights will be opposite on the JDM headlights. You will be blinding on-coming traffic with the JDM's. You can't adjust it unless you're willing to take each housings apart and switch the notch plate in front of the projector glass.
I guess you can aim your lights lower than default to accomodate the higher drivers side pattern.

But also remember that the Euro lights are designed for self leveling bulbs... Thus, your light bulb assemblies will not just snap in.
So there is some hacking involved with either option.
