No. The cutoff is in the headlight, not the bulb.

Ah, I see. I'd have to get a right hand drive headlight unit.

No, then your headlights would be improperly adjusted and thus probably illegal. All headlights are this way (at least they are supposed to be). It's just more noticeable with the sharp cutoff.

Now if only the big-ass jacked up trucks driven by jerkoffs were the same...

and the SUVs driven by stupid yuppies and wannabes...

sigh....

And BTW, pretty much every car is like this (at least modern Hondas to my understanding). You just notice it because the HID is so bright that it makes such a perfect line.

Yes, many modern cars have the cutoff. However, most do it correctly and light up your whole lane. Not like ours, from the middle and to the right.

In this thread: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.ph...ic=38291&st=50 Col talks about adjusting the headlights horizontally and mentions the vertical adjustment. It's towards the end of the page.

FYI: This clearly shows the way they're supposed to be, overlap and all. This corresponds to what Saki was saying earlier about the shape of both beams being the same, lower on the left than the right:



and, from a little further back.
