JDM Projectors - Did you do the LHD Conversion?, And yes, I searched and read posts Options

Alright, so I won my Low beam projectors off Ebay and they are in route. I have read up on installation (thanks Tina, Jason), LHD conversion (thanks Kadett), etc. So, questions for the US/LHD driving members in here that have installed the Projectors -

Did you do the the LHD conversion in order to supposedly not "blind" oncoming traffic? If you did not, have you had a lot problems with people flashing their lights back at you? From my searching, it does not seem that many have done the conversion (or they just don't post it). I would really like to get as many responses as possible to get a feeling for how bad the problem really is in affecting the oncoming cars.

Did you not TRY the conversion due to risk of damaging these very expensive lights? Yeah, the whole taking the glass off and putting back on scares me too. Maybe I'll just pay Kadett to do it or try this new aluminum foil idea proposed by Culpable

Finally, if your state requires annual inspections, do these projectors cause any issue, esp. if you did not do the LHD conversion?

Thanks!!

I could not do it because I was very pressed for time. My car was going in for paint and I wanted everything installed and ready. I just made sure the beams were pointed eveningly and not too high. Used my garage door for calibration

Every once and awhile I will get flashed, but its rare. So if you are worried about other drivers... I think it is not that apparent to them. As far as cops? I would be very impressed/amazed if a cop could notice.

Plus, I was reluctant to open up my brand new projectors an risk any messups.
