Are there any difference from the light angle or something? I want to buy an used driver side head light for my ITR, but I like to know if there are any differences in light angle.

Thanks

 

Probably the only difference is the electrical level adjustment. Just make sure it's a LHD car like yours...because usually the passenger side light points higher at the outside...

The USDM left headlight assembly: 33151-ST7-A03

our headlights have the electrical motor to regulate angle, as opposite to the USDM version.

here's mine:

wtf? The usdm headlights can not be adjusted?

 

Correct.... yet again the US sucks.

 

they can be.. with a screwdriver.

 

thats we todd style.

 

lol no, not this time. There really are two adjustment points adjusted with a screwdriver or with a (i think 8mm) open end.

I think the electronic leveling would actually be a USEFUL feature to have though at whoever decided that they shouldn't be used in 98+ USDM tegs.

 

so what part is the rectangular leveler in this pic?



can we put these into USDM cars with no trouble? Or is there more involved?

based on this page:

it appears that there is switch installation and wiring that would have to be done.. i wonder if this all requires a new/different harness or can go into existing pieces..

Man we didn't get any of the cool toys in the US here... The automatic headlight adjustment would be cool as hell

 

It would be rad to get HID Projectors installed then utilize the electrical adjustment

 

precisely what i was thinking..

 

I think I saw somewhere that you are suppose to have the self leveling system on the car to have HID's

Skafia: That's exactly what I was thinking..

Will: BiXenon retrofit may just be in the works on my car very very soon, with everything... going to take some work, but if I can get the damned lights for a decent price I'll do it.

 

Yeah, for HID systems to legally work, they need auto-levelers.

Bi-Xenon is going to be a bitch!

 

not true. not all US cars with OEM HIDs have auto-levelers. It's more of a european market thing.

I dont think so. The concept is VERY simple. Fitment will be the biggest challenge IMO, that and getting the EUDM lights . The wiring will be easy to difficult depending on which route is taken.

Not sure if I'm going to do it yet, but it would allow HID "high" beams with halogen flash-to-pass. I might set it up based on the contacts in the console stalk, but I need to look into that (push forward to activate solenoid and pull back for FTP halogens) or just put in a switch/relay.

 

both are which can be installed without too much fuss.
