Does anyone know if the Japanese xB headlights will fit on the US xB? I noticed that many Japanese xB's corners are clear and plus they dont bulge out a little like the US ones. Its pretty clean. And also what size bulbs are the Japanese headlights. Thanks.

Just so you know most right hand drive cars have different headlights than left hand drive cars. Left hand drive cars point to the right so that you don't blind oncoming traffic.
Right hand drive cars headlight point to the left.
This might cause an accident.

Or just annoy the heck out of oncoming traffic. to them, it looks like the high beams are on all the time!

Stick with US or Euro (non-UK) headlights.

i thought that beam pattern issue only on projector housing...
cant u just adjust the beam pattern on reflector housing?

Since your on the subject, how do you adjust your headlights? I changed my bulbs and now my left beam is higher. I've been ____in people off for the last 2 weeks :oops: I better fix it before it turns into a case of road rage for someone.

On the top of the backside of the assembly you should see a screw. Turning this raises or lowers the beam.

they will bolt up, but the wiring will need to be modified. Its not plug and play.
