LHD headlights on RHD car and driving... bad ideaż
since i can't find any LED IKON-Style LCI Headlights for BMW F32/F36/F80/F82 for RHD like I need I am now wondering how bad putting some US spec LHD headlights would be for night-time driving??
i'm thinking to pull up to my carport wall and chalk where my tires are and where my current light cutoff is, then after installing the LHD LCI LED lights try to get the light cutoff to the same points via the up/down and left/right adjustments on the headlights themselves. anyone have any advice or experience with this?? i'm not sure if the manual adjustments will be able to achieve the same cutoffs, but i'm hoping i can get really close to it so that the difference if fairly negligible.

The beams' cut-off is significantly different between two types.
Do have a read here: https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1644906 First several posts do discuss the mechanical differences between LHD and RHD headlights. The construction principles are the same, although the post talks about F87 M2.
