What happens with the light if I remove the part over/around the bulp???
Will i blind people?
I know in Taiwan they donīt have this piece.

 

the jdm ctr lights dont have them... you'll be fine without em.

Nope. It helps to focus the beam I think.

 

Most likely you'll lose a good amount of your light cutoff. Besides, in Taiwan, they aren't as strict about DOT related stuff like they are in the States. Plus, everyone there knows how to aim their headlights.

 

i thought that thing reflected the light back against the chrome housing and made the beam pattern. i wouldnt remove it. i could be wrong

 

i did find some info
USDM - EDM

JDM


Comparison with low beam
USDM - EDM


JDM


Lowbeam


Highbeam

 

Take some before and after shots if you plan to do this!! I may take mine out this weekend too!

 

I thought it was to aim the light to the correct side of the road... But when taking it off make the housing black too

 

i think it will be fine without them....my JDM headlight housings dont have them. the beam pattern is good and i dont think it blinds anyone.

 

i guess i guessed wrong. oh well. it looks alright either way.

 

i did it on some 99-00 black housing headlights of mine, but i haven't installed them yet


i hope they look good

 

It will be a bit brighter for the opposing driver, but nothing unbearable if you aim them correctly...
