Not sure if there's a way to adjust the beam and make it compatible with driving on the right side of the road.
yea good call on turn signals. I've heard the side markers work as turn signals or something once you re wire them?

As for the light issue, I've met some other 86 owners with the JDM head light swap and it is not bad at all. And you can adjust the angles on the head lights manually.
