Just put my euro smoked ones on this afternoon, now i know they are LHD but i tried to adjust em best i could so they would be right, but i just went out in my car then with my headlights on and the first car that went past me flashed their lights at me and two others did in the space of 5 mins.
Does everyone else get this and am i just going to have to get used to it? Was a bit dubious to getting them in the first place as i couldnt be arsed having people flashing at me all the time.

well with em being for lhd they will point into the middle of the road, as rhd lights are angled away from the on coming traffic slightly, so everyone will probably assume you have main beam on

if you take them apart, can you not swap over the reflective inserts to make them RHD?
Prob can't I know, but worth asking....

I have a totally clear set for sale 
LHD lights just get used to blinding people. Had them on for nearly a year. It was worst down country lanes, people would flash you everytime... so I would put my main beam on and blind them ROFL
Yes you will fail your MOT. I just put my normal ones back in. Viola.
If anybody wants the totally clear lights PM me

I've adjusted the drivers side headligt so its as far down as it will go and then adjusted the passenger side headlight up a bit to level the light out. Seems to work as I dont get flashed very often at all now whereas I used to get flashed by near enough every car I saw when I hadn't adjusted them.
I also flash back at anyone that flashes at me just so they know I'm not sat there with my full beam on

But depo ones look like someone has painted the inside of the cover with spray paint and they also have the lines on the cover still which looks poo...
Mine actually have DEPO imprinted on the headlight cover, not Arteb for some reason. Maybe they are made by the same people?

loafofbrett..... Flashing them is quite reserved... obviously if I'd seen you coming I'd of stopped and jabbed you in the face
