Default JDM vs Eurospec lighting cut off pattern

i've been thinking bout this an wondered when you guys buy/install your JDM headlights. is the beam pattern different? I ask this because on a eurospec (left hand drive headlight) the light cutoff swings upwards to the right. Do the JDM spec light cutoff swing upwards to the left? this could be a potential hazard since you'd be glaring the drivers coming towards you.

Anyone know if the JDM light cutoff is like that?

so when you installed your jdm lights on your del sol did you notice the cutoff being like that when you have the car up against a wall? Just curious how extreme the cutoff is.

I don't think it is too bad. I adjusted them to be pretty straight... I cannot be sure though (I don't usually see my car driving past me ya know?) But I don't get any High beam flashes, so I can only assume it is not bad.

cool thanks for the feedback on some of the euro cars...their ecodes have a mechanical flap for lack of a better word that you would switch to change the light pattern/cut off from left hand drive to right hand drive vice versa kinda cool
