Why do people upgrade their headlights to JDM? since they're RHD, isn't the headlight pattern the opposite of what you want it to be? or do you just not care? why JDM instead of Europe?

 

and if you don't mind me asking, what does JDM stand for ?

thanks, Trojanhorse...

 

About the JDM, yes the beam pattern is different but I heard people have adjusted them to be LHD. But I think there still was a problem about beam reflecting, etc. If I were to buy headlights, I would buy the European headlights, but there is an issue with them also because of the bulb fitment. I think Tims2k is the guy that sells them and he has them on his car, so he's the guy that would know this to the full details.

 

Yes, the JDM headlight have the left beam higher than the right! Vice-versa for the euro ones (which is same as ours). This beam pattern is a notched plate in each of the projectors. Unless you take apart each housing and switch the plates, your drivers side beam is going to be higher than the pass. side. I think what alot of JDM headlight users are doing is just lowering the overall light beams. Talk to Shaner about this....he's an expert in this stuff!
