Guys, are you sure these things are going to work?

When I shipped my Pontiac back from Canada to Australia the first thing I had to do was convert to right hand drive (a very expensive exercise fellas....). A key part of the conversion was new headlights because the lights dip the wrong way.

Aren't you going to find the same problem - your dipped headlights will now be shining into oncoming traffic.

I haven't checked out whether it is the shape of the reflector or whether you can simply unplug your right dipping shielded HID bulbs from the old lights and plug them into the new but I suspect you may find this is a BIG waste of money.

What has been everyone's experience - I am lucky in that we have clear lights as standard but we do have those ugly headlight washers to compensate in bad taste!

I bet that is exactly why he is selling them!

Euro spec clear corners are what we would need for the USA!
