JDM 86 Head lights

[BRZPDX]

So with the RHD head lights, I know there is some issues regarding light angles. Are there ways to fix the angling of the lights or is that something you need to live with? Just bought a pair, used from Japan and seeing how difficult it would be to do it at home.

My understanding is that from the BRZ headlights -> JDM 86, its just a plug and play?

I'd appreciate any information regarding RHD light conversions. Thanks!!

Why not just buy the LHD lights?

With HIDs its not as bad as with a non HID projector...but if you REALLY want to fix it...you need to swap out to LHD projectors...I would look for a USDM projector that will fit in the housing...google it. Theres tons of info out there on the HID projector...their cutoff is very flat though I would aim them to the left as much as possible and call it a day though. If theyre NON HID though then the flare is pretty severe and I would swap to a HID projector from a USDM car and call it a day.

Thanks for the info, they are HID versions. Not sure how I "aim" it to the left more, probably need to read up on some DIY guides.

I keep an eye out on the Japanese auctions websites (Yahoo Auctions) for used 86 parts, and these were in great condition and Japanese people usually don't lie about scratches and what not, culturally. My brother works in Japan so I ship all the parts there, then when I go on my Business trips or my parents go visits Japan, I have them haul it back for me to save shipping. No JDM broker fee's that way.
