Default to those with jdm headlights

im thinking about picking up a set of jdm headlights...

however, i was wondering if it was really obvous that your lights are pointed left instead of right? I don't want to blind any of the drivers driving the opposite direction.

And also for various reasons, my car has to be completely legal so I might instead pick up those tacky ebay headlights if i have to, for my car to be completely legal.

with mine, the glaire was not really noticable, but IS there. you could always adjust them once installed.

I've not had any problems with my JDM headlights. People haven't complained that I blind them, even with PIAA extreme white bulbs.

If JDM headlights dont do it for you, the ebay lights sure as hell won't.

there is really only one "flare" to the left. you can adjust your drivers side headlight a little lower to match the pass. side.

and i have pnp hid kit no complaints

techone 5k kit.

got a good deal on it and i've been waiting for a good deal on a pnp kit.

ever since i got the jdm's, i noticed the light output was less. i used silvania silverstars on both sets (usdm / jdm)

i just wanted something that would increase light output w/o that much more cost. also, i didn't want to do a retrofit because of the cost (i know how to do it btw) and i didn't want to possibly ruin the headlights.

i can always go back to stock. with retrofits, its a little harder to sell for what ppl want for them.
