Make sure that you get them aligned for driving on the left side of the road. US cars have the right side aimed further out to see along the shoulder, the opposite is true of Japanese market cars. That means the driver's side light will be aimed up and blinding oncoming drivers.

^^^^ Yup.

You'll get much better (and more legal) lighting by retrofitting an HID projector from a Audi/BMW/TSX/etc.
