Thanks Chazmo! If Patrik's car is the EDM version, I wonder if you can't get the V type lights like the JDM ones, where the projector is chrome vs. charcoal like the EDM and USDM??

Well, a few people have said they were able to fix that problem, but realistically, I did not get much help from anyone.

The JDM beam pattern is not the same as USDM. Up to this point, I would highly suggest you go with the Ricks Diffusor...Much more convenient on driving at night and a lot cheaper!
But as for the chrome housing, that's a tough call. I know Ricks at this time, does not have the chrome housing available. So the only way is to purchase the JDM ones.

The beam on the JDM headlights are higher to the left, you can adjust it, but after doing so, you will lose a lot of the vision.
I hate it when I was unable to see most of the traffic signs.

There is no way to "adjust" the JDM healight pattern so that it mimics the US or EU pattern. The pattern is created by a small cast piece of metal within the projector housing that is not adjustable in any way shape or form. Also, the mounting methods apparently don't allow them to be switched for the USDM ones either. If you're really hellbent on making this mod instead of just going out and getting the Rick's diffusers like the cool kids then just see here http://forums.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.p...light=headlight for even more on the subject.
