    On the projectors, there is an adjustment for LHD/RHD simply by rotating the assembly. This only works for euros due to the cut. Think about it logically...

    From __/

    To \__

    All it does is rotate the cutoff. Now you'll see why it doesn't work with NA projectors

    You need to buy a 9005/9006 universal harness, and crimp/soldering skills as you are converting from 9005/9006 to H1. Not a hard process, but you'll want to look up on it.

    I recently upgraded to these lights and Added HID, so if you go ahead and buy these, I can walk you through it step by step. With help, it would be super easy

    Hmm sounds , but I'll do it, how much do the extra parts cost? Also, I'd like to throw in HID's but I'm kinda streched on $ as I'm only 17 and Regal Entertainment doesent love me haha

    Hey same age here I'd advise you not to buy HID cheap. When you do buy, Phillips is the only way to go. However if you decide on cheap, many say Pilot is pretty good. I can also say Genesis is pretty good (used them previously).

    Couldn't help you on the harnesses, You'll need the Male plugs that are 9005/9006 on one side and stripped on the other. I mentioned to the seller (via ebay) that knockoff kits came with the universal harnesses and he went ahead and got me one. I would guess 20-30 bucks for the harness and another 30 for the H1 bulbs.

    If you go for HID you'll need a drill and a smart head to mount the ballasts, as we dont have the same car so I can't have you place them where I did.
