Never been pulled, but they permanently shine into oncoming traffic so blinding other drivers is guaranteed.

They put the same amount of light on the road, but none on road signs at the left of the road. They illuminate the rear of signs on the opposite side a treat though.

\_______ this piss poor drawing shows a RHD light pattern it kicks up to the left to light signs etc.

LHD lights do the same but obviously the other way ________/ so the tick in the patern is what your shining in to oncoming traffic.

LHD lights are ok in this country bu you need to cover a certain section of the light in a triangle shape to make the beam of light a flat line.

i have the new "Sonar" LHD angel eyes!

much brighter than nomal corsa B headlights, beam is longer and brighter! coz they use the brighter Halogen H1 bulbs, standard 55/60watt and legal aswell

the angle of the beam is slanted the wrong way but on the back of the headlight the beam "direction" can be accurately adjusted in terms of up,down, left, right and also diagonnaly-left/right....

and so after a lot of adjusting a testing, they dont blind other side of road now and are fine, but i think a MOT tester will still moan about it! in which case just use the beam director stickers on them for the mot

I have LHD headlights. Ive only had them for a month, but i think they must blind oncoming drivers cos ive been flashed at a few times I really like them though, they look so much better than my old ones
