Icon2 jdm headlights cant see crap like usdm

hey guys so i bought some zc headlights for my ef. i swaped the usdm out and put in the zc ones in with my hid's but now the distance of the beam sucks. i heard that i have to adjust them like if they were usdm (right one pointing higher than left one) could any one support this or is it the way the jdm headlights are?????

Why would you buy those model of headlights, why??

The smarter choice would have been to source out from Europe. You could have bought "left" hand drive lights, that are actually made of glass, and also used a normal bulb like an H4, instead of the goofy H4H the jdm lights use

So you bought the set off eBay. You bastard!!!! I was gonna buy them to retrofit the adjusters to my glass EE8 headlights.

Got a craply set you wanna sell me so I can still do it?


OP, you get what you pay for, if the lights were cheap then there is a reason it was cheap.

So you downgraded from glass to plastic headlamps? Only difference besides the lens is a single bulb vs dual bulbs. You should have kept your stock lights. Glass beats plastic any day.
