I had to replace the headlight units on my uk-sourced Accord to pass the french mot at 4 years old.
So ordered the correct oem LHD (dip to the right) unit part number as advised by local Honda dealer, had Coxes Honda in the UK check that this was the correct part number for driving in europe etc.
The UK spec units gave the same beam pattern as GB describes, sharp cut off, huge kick-up on the the left to illuminate the rabbits sitting on the grass verge etc.
The new LHD dip to right units have a flat beam pattern, no kick up on the right, legal in the UK for driving on the left, and in europe for driving on the right and passes the french mot.
So why the h*ll weren't flat beam units fitted to start with?
