When you say 'backward cutoff', what do you mean? My HID's could light up a football stadium! Does the Opel Omega have a different setup to the Vaux Omega? and indeed, the Caddy Catera setup?

It's just a language thing, nothing cut off. we would say dip to the left for RHD or dip to the right for LHD. So yes, uk lights would be no good for across the pond.

Backward meaning the RHD vs a LHD vehicle.. here is a picture that might help.


In the US we use thei first three... in Europe I think its the first one only hence the ECE and the Japanese and UK... they use the RHD set up...
SO if you get headlights from UK you will end up blinding all the people on the opposite side of the road and you will have almost no light output on your right hand side...

Hope this helps...

I just need to break down and buy the projector headlights I've been eyeing. I think they'd make a good upgrade from the OEMs on the 1999. Looking forward to the eyelids though.
