As some of you might know already, the JDM HID/Non HID Headlamps has a different beam pattern due to the LHD~RHD issues.
Here is one pic which one can sorta see to show that the beam is shooting left and upwards


as it did before to me on my RSX, for oncoming traffic, will experience ppl high beaming because on their side they would think I have my high beams on!
So another problem posed by a JDM Headlamp / Front End Conversion!

Here's a not so good pic of the 6000K HID Bulbs am using


Enjoy!

 

yea same here I had the JDM hids for the DC5

 

yup, had the same problem. just pointed mine down a little and haven't been high-beemed yet. (knocks on wood)

 

If you want proper angled non US spec headlights, then you can you European spec; Germany, France, Holland, Belgium etc as they are LHD also. You will then have no problem with beam pattern and they are the same as JDM except that we don't have factory HID.

FYI, the reason why the headlights on RHD point up on the left is so that it lights up the sidewalk and also the road signs on the left.

Al.

 

Thanks for the shots... Interesting to see...

 

Man the HID cutoff really isnt that great from that shot. Are they reflector or projector HID?

 

Used a D2R bulb that is suppose to be on the factory JDM headlamps
maybe the picture isnt that great I guess...

 

You can also modify the reflector housing to make the cutoff flat instead of stepped for RHD. I've seen a few guys do that with the Accord Inspire headlights, which are also reflector based HID housings.

 

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I've just converted my car to JDM HID housings. However, since the H4 bulbs were dual filament and the D2Rs are not, I no longer have use of my highbeams. The wiring for activating the H4 highbeam does not trigger the magnet that shifts the D2R bulb for highbeam. Is there a fix for that? Thanks in advanced
