I am looking to buy a set of headlight modded from US, but not sure if their headlight will work the same as ours in here.. Anyone can shed some lights if they will fit the same? Bcoz i remember someone telling me that US headlight and AUS headlight arent the same (due to different driver side)?

so.. the answer is fit, but with issue..

Chris, is it a design problem or it can be adjusted to project correctly from behind?

If it aims directly, cant we just adjust it lower, so then it can work legally on aus?

it is a problem with the reflectors not the height

aussie headlights are aimed at the footpath for better visibility of pedestrians, side streets, road signs etc not to blind oncoming drivers

the us ones are aimed in the opposite direction for their safety and all of the reasons above.

now not only do you blind oncoming cars, but also, you loose visibility on the passenger side exposing yourself to the hidden dangers lurking in the dark

LOL Of course you need to adjust them and change bulbs to Australian regulation, fairly easy!

As others have said, the shape of the beam, which controlled by the insides of the headlights is completely oposite.

Oh, and closed, has been discussed many times.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
