I don't have first hand experience with these lights, that's why I asked YOU about them..but apparently you don't either?

I don't know about the OP but I wouldn't want a "you should be fine" answer, especially when these lights are what over 500 bux?

this is probably a stupid question but could the projector lenses or projectors them selves be swaped so the cutoff would be on the opposite side?

They can probably be adjusted.

I'd leave them though.

a simple rotation in the projectors should do the trick I would imagine.

CAUTION:

Adjusting or Rotating the light COULD result in misalignment. Other drivers COULD possibly have to blink once or twice.

CAUTION.

^bottom line, you don't know **** about the setup so I'd suggest you bring some educated info on here other than ranting and this "you should be fine" crap...I don't wanna see someone spend 5-600 bux on lights and complain about lighting output and whatnot.

Sure the bungholes in the raised trucks with screwed up headlights is ridiculous but that doesn't mean it's OK

watch out now, BH is getting some JDM headlights for his headlight wars

P.S. to spooledguy - I had HIDs in my s14 zenki headlights. So cool. They lit up the whole freeway.

I'll be getting a new set for my s13 pop ups.

Projector? NO WAY JOSE.

Well, I was going to change the front end of my 14 to a kouki with the J lights. Why? BADASS. that's why.

BUT, I had a bright idea to build a 180 at that same time, so I sold all the kouk s14 stuff and started buying 180 parts.

oh i see. sad to see the kouki project a no go. but hopefully the one80 will make it worthwhile. and i agree the non projector hids are amazing. i dunno how other drivers felt but i could see the roadway alot better

So if S14's have a problem with cutoffs, what about all of those S13 triple, dual, and halogen lights, and off course S15, R32,33,34. That a lot of people do conversions on their cars. I don't remember US S13 ever coming with anything else than pop-up's. And definitely we didn't get S15' or skylines in states. If this was so much of an issue Canada wouldn't let Silvia's and Skyline's to be imported. And I'm sure Canada has some kind of DOT inspection for their cars, since it belongs to/under United Kingdom, it's not rinky-dinki USA where you do what you want and how.You both stated your concerns and issues on this subject can we move on.Because I smell

I dont want to sound like a prick, or take anyone's side here.
