    Why not just swap the reflectors so they still dip to the right like they should?

    I don't want to open the headlights.... it's easier for me to just swap the lights...

    Looks great. Are you using a different bluish bulb in the low beam?

    We and the kids from Japan should be swapping around USDM and JDM headlights, pay only for shipping (even the LEDs found on the Five). Makes everybody happy lol!

    Its only takes 15 mins the oven at 250F to bake the headlight. I've done it a few times with my old car for retrofitting and various other things.

    Looks good, except for the blue bulbs in the high beams. They make your headlights look blue due to the reflection in them when you look at them from a slight distance.

    I looked into the V led JDM headlights and I can find them for $450-$600 each, but IMO it's not worth it for that price.

    Were you able to avoid condensation? I had my headlights opened on my old car to black out the housing and they condensed now and then

    I'm leasing the car... I don't want them to see/notice that I opened the HL when I return the car....

    I'm thinking of replacing the blue bulb... I'm just trying to look for a super white bulb that has no blue coating on it... so far I saw luminics titanium...

    on the LED HL I saw some from $300-500 depending on the condition.... I even thought of getting those and converting mine to LED's but I was not sure on how much work is needed to modify the wiring

    Hey Bino, when you part out the car at the end of your lease, hit me up. I'll take these headlights off your hands.

    No I made sure to throw in some silica packets and use a sealant around the edges. Its pretty easy to do. You might even be able to make your own clear corner using the florescent plastic covers. That's what I used in my old car.

    would it look better if the blue bulbs are yellow?
