Bought JDM headlight with Broken tab
I just purchased a used JDM Headlight with a single broken tab, I haven't looked at the mounting yet but was just looking for opinions from people who have removed headlights. Would the broken tab have any considerable problems? I will probably look at repairing the tab.

One of my BRZ headlights is off of a wrecked car. It's been about a year since I've installed them, but If I'm not mistaken up to 2 tabs were broken. They are installed, and rock-solid.
I wouldn't let this stop you from installing. While installing you can see if any opportunities to secure it pop up (zip ties, perhaps).

Repairable with the right supplies, but JDM lights have a RHD cutoff...

Obviously not real JDM then. Probably EU spec from a LHD country. |

Indesign's headlights, I believe were imported straight from Japan sourced from a Japanese car.

Not a whole lot of reasons the cutoff would be the wrong way other than the image is flipped or the lights aren't really JDM...
