US HID Adaptive Headlight Housing

Hi Guys,

I'd like to import some to give mine a unique look but I don't know if the internals are the same as the EU/UK ones and would have the ability to respond to the command from the car so that the cut off is for UK use. My gut feeling would be yes they should be as they would adjust the cut off there as they would here when doing their adaptive thing. I.e mine go flat on certain roads, and when I stop behind cars.

Anyone know much about the US housing for the adaptive headlights? Are they identical to the EU/UK version other than the reflectors on the corners?

    What's different about the US to EU ones other than the (ugly) orange reflector?

    Be aware that autoleveling is not mandatory for HID headlights in the USA.

    In the USA most vehicles with factory fitted HID lights do have a manual headlight leveling system. USA Focus MK3 HID headlights for example have exactly the same manual headlight leveling system as the European Focus MK3 halogen headlights. This may also be the same for the USA Focus MK3.5 HID headlights.
