They point the wrong way. RHD cars are on the other side of the road.

^^ This, and particularly if they're E-code, you'll be constantly blinding oncoming traffic, because the beams shine up and to the left for better sign illumination. LHD Hella rounds should only run you about $45 per unit, widely available on Ebay & Amazon, etc.

If you want top shelf rounds, go for the Cibie 7" lights..

People would just think you were driven a fancy suv with factory bi-xenon projectors or whatever those are called. If I still had my caddy a pair of those would be on their way as I write.

Hella H4 conversions made a huge difference compared to the sealed beams... on my Dodge. I got them http://www.sonicelectronix.com/. DOT approved too.
