The beam pattern, LHD headlights have a beam pattern that looks like:
___________/----------------------- (comes up higher on the right hand side to light up street signs)
RHD headlights have something like:
------------------------\_________________ (comes up higher on the left hand side) therefore driving with thsoe 'JDM' or RHD lights in a country that's LHD you will blind on coming drivers as badly as ricers in civics with HID kits. Maybe worse.

Hi,
I am in the process of importing my uk rx8 to the netherlands and look like I need the headlights altered from right hand drive to left hand drive. Does anyone know the best solution??

The guys that import RHDs often simply realign the headlights with metal washers or plastic bushings for the inspection .
