Yeay JDM Projector, So excited Options

[chode]

Hi,

I just bought the ultimate exterior mod and i'm looking for a topic where there is all the infos for the installation.

I know that i've seen it in the past, but i can't find it anymore...

I found this topic for the LHD mod (wich i'm not sure if i will do it).
RHD to LHD

I'm also looking for the info to put HID in them...bulbs etc...

Thanks a lot

It's pretty irresponsible to not convert them imo, especially when using HIDs. You WILL be blinding oncoming drivers.

This is the beam pattern:


That flick up on the left will be pointing right into their eyes.

Do you guys not have an annual inspection which tests things like this?

Each state has different inspection requirements. In PA where I am, we have yearly safety and emissions inspections, and during the safety inspection they're "supposed" to check to be sure every exterior light's lens is DOT stamped - and the projectors aren't - so each year when I get it inspected they SHOULD fail but they never notice.

Projectors are technically illegal to have on the car in any state since the DOT stamp is a federal requirement. I always wondered what would happen if someone were to hit you (with non-modified projectors with HID's - illegal and illegal) at night and end up claiming they couldn't see the road - what would happen because the projectors aren't DOT stamped and installing HID's in a car that wasn't factory produced with HID's is illegal as well. I wonder if your insurance company could sue you for an illegal modification that they'd claim was the cause of the accident.

Agreed - if you're going put HID's in the projectors - you should do the LHD mod. They flare up quite a bit and you will blind people without fixing the cut-off.
