OneEighty or other modified headlights (Australia)

T-Rex57

I understand this is a very long shot, but chasing a set of black modified headlights, with halos, for an RHD market.

Not actually sure if LHD's will work but if so great!

Willing to pay shipping. Aus is a wasteland for this stuff. Also just a wasteland, period.

LHD lights won't work in RHD country - lighting pattern throws light in the wrong direction

If you are so concerned at Aus being a wasteland, why don't you move somewhere else.

T-Rex57

Good to know.

I was making a joke, mate. You don't understand humour? Can't take a joke? Maybe you should move somewhere else.

I have never in my life heard of the lighting being thrown in a different direction based on whether the car is LHD or RHD...................

But I do have a set for sale

The lighting system is engineered to throw high beam ahead and for LHD, to the right to illuminate the passenger side verge. The low-beam circuit illuminates just the verge and shortens the distance of the beam thrown ahead to avoid dazzle to oncoming cars.

If you install such a lighting system in a RHD car, then the high beam "spreads" to the centre of the road (because the car is on the other side of the road and passenger side and driver side are reversed) and low-beam is similarly focussed to the centre of the road.

The nett effect of using a LHD lighting system in a RHD car is that oncoming cars are dazzled on low beam and the lighting system does not illuminate the verge on high beam.

I lived in the UK 40 years ago for a while and spend time driving my RHD car in France and the French police were dynamite on lighting - we had to fit stickers over the headlights to blank out the beam to avoid dazzle.

And for the OP, I apologize for being a humour free zone, but I will simply observe that Adelaide is a bit of a backwater and maybe that lead to the original joke (flame mode now "on").

Sooo what your saying is We need to get a LHD light from a RHD country and it will make our LHD cars light up the road that much better!

haha

Hey, it may be a bit of a backwater, but it's *our* backwater. Ok that didn't work.

So no go I take it? Ahh well

LOL Brought back some memories of being a kid and driving to france with parents. Dad had to use those black stickers on our RHD car.

Incidentally, anyone have a picture of the light cut of of the RHD xenon lights. I am thinking about ordering some LHD 370z headlights from europe as I think the cut off and clear lense is better than those sold here in the USA.
