Just curious, but when I was looking into getting the GT86 headlights I was told that they are different from American headlights because of the right hand drive, and the lights will shine into oncoming traffic. Is this true at all? Thanks!

It is true! but we can put it to the test. Wanna come drive down the opposite road of me? Just figured I'd get them first and do a retrofit later down the line when I gots more car funds saved up.

I've seen it in person, its not that bad. If it is so "blinding", it wouldn't be street legal in any road since any car can be hit by any angle. The ghetto blue HID's without cutoffs that you see rolling around town is much more brighter than RHD lights imo.

Yeah, you are right... it can't be much worse than a bad set of HIDs.
