I'm trying in vain to find a pair of those seriously cool halo projector headlights for my 93 DA6. My car is <U>right hand drive</U> so obviously the one's available to the US are absolutely no good to me. Does anyone know where a rhd fitment might be available?

 

you probably are not going to find halo projectors that work ... I would suggest sticking with the JDM one pieces and possibly doing an HID retrofit

 

IMO, JDM 1-pieces look much cleaner than stock and Halo projectors.

Are you positive on this? Because JDM headlights fit on our USDM cars, and the USDM headlights fit on the JDM cars as well. So I'm not sure why the Halo's would not fit. Just asking becuase I'm not sure.

 

i would guess that aftermarket USDM halo projectors aren't even specifically designed for LHD - that both left and right projectors are completely identical.

but i'm just guessing..

 

Well, for one thing, the light cutoff for left hand drive vehicles is like so:

_____/--------_____/--------


Whereas for right hand drive vehicles:

--------\_____--------\_____

If he got USDM ones and he put an HID kit in there, it would definitely blind oncoming traffic....

He is from Ireland you know, where they drive on the left hand side of the road.

 

They would fit in ok, its just that when I'm on dipped beam, it would be shining the wrong direction, blinding the oncoming traffic...forgot to mention we drive on the left side here in Ireland. This may be really stupid...but what does HID stand for?

I know they do look pretty good on the car (here she is in the noob section https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=2), but I have to say my JDM one pieces give out terrible light, maybe somebody knows where I could even get a H4 adapter of some sort?

buy a set of the halo type projector headlights and then retrofit some HID projectors from a rhd car i guess( or get the hid projectors that have the slant in the cutoff in the opposite direction)........if that makes sense.

 

Also if they are us spec then finding bulbs might be harder since you'd have to convert from H4H to 9000 series bulbs, i don't remember what the stock usdm bulbs are anymore....but take that into consideration.

 

HID stands for high intensity discharge. they are the bulbs that are found in the expensive bmw's and other luxury vehicles.

The cutoff pattern is probably created by a mask inside the housing. If you can dismantle the housing & reverse that you can probably make it work.
