Well the way the cut off is on them, it's notched out on the left side so if you were driving down the road it would blind everyone in the opposite lane. Now if you were in a place where they drove on the opposite side of the road, then you wouldn't blind anyone since it would be lighting up the side of the road more. You don't have to do it, but it's more of a respect thing. |

Thank you so much for the clean up,. so if japan were ordering headlights from us, they would be doing the same to our headlights..hmm interesting. i always thought headlights were centered... uurrgh that conversion takes alot of patience..Thanks mkernz22 -------------------- 94' Celica GT Manual |

The ones that cone stock here are centered, its only the projectors that aren't centered. |
