hello all,

anyone know where i can buy these headlights in RHD please?

All the models that i am finding are LHD

thanks in advance
 
that's a very tall order, they may be made in china or taiwan, but are only sold in the canada and the states. worth mentioning the projector takes a d2s bulb so if yours has the stock H1 projectors you'll need a HID conversion kit as well
you can do a rhd projector swap if you're dead set on these, but it doesn't look like the oem stanley projector, so you'll have to fab some brackets and then align everything. it could be a fun weekend project ;)
 
I am not worried about changing the connection and having a HID conversion installed.

ATM I am trying to source in Japan as I don't really want to buy a set and ruin it for nothing.
I'm not so good with these kinds of things if I cannot find information that will help. hehe
 
In projector headlights, the part that determines both the illumination pattern as well as the left or right bias is the shutter. LHD and RHD headlights have mirror image patterns of each other cut in the top edge of the shutters. As far as I can tell from the very few images of the actual Honda projectors I have seen (no one seems to pull them apart) Honda uses a curved sheet metal shutter that would take a bit of work to imitate, but aftermarket projectors might be easier to modify. It would also not be all that difficult to find 2 smashed up Honda headlights that have intact RHD shutters, and graft these in position inside and aftermarket projector of the same diameter.

A neat trick would be to mount the shutters on solenoids that remove them from the light path in unison with the high beams. You would end up with a lot more light output on high beam.
