Default Source projectors from 2 driver's side headlights? Possible?

I'm a bit confused. On one hand, I've seen some folks mention that there's a difference between RHD and LHD "sets" of projectors. But I'm not sure if that applies to my situation. If I found a pair of driver's side headlights with the projectors I wanted, would there be any problems with using them in a retrofit?

Please ignore my ignorance if this question is completely idiotic Rolling eyes

2 driver's side lights, if both from a US car, will be fine.

Hopefully, they're off the same model, if you want an even distribution.

Yayyy, I just purchased my first set of HIDs for retrofit!

I got 2 Rx330 projectors with the stock bulbs and oem ballasts for 90 dollars. Shipping for each kinda sucks, being at 25 per headlamp, but hopefully I can get combined shipping.

I have not heard of any car that uses different projectors for the left and right sides. So you should be perfectly fine getting 2 left side or 2 right side headlamps, if you're only going to be using them for the projectors.

Yes there's a difference between Right Hand Drive projectors and Left Hand Drive projectors cause of their cutoff lines, but there's no difference between driverside and passangerside projectors, so you're be perfectly fine if you buy 2 driverside headlights with projectors
