Default Ecode question

I am about to buy a set of Valeo ECodes from the UK of a right-drive A4. These will be going on a US-spec A4. Ecodes from Europe are the same as Ecodes from the US, right? I feel kind of silly to ask this, but I just wanted to make sure they are the same thing.

I am almost 100% sure they are the same, since Ecodes have a Right-drive beam pattern. Thanks!

Default The housings are the same, however when you get them...

you'll need to make a small change so that the light output is higher on the right side vs. the left side or you'll blind oncoming traffic.

I forget what you have to change exactly, but it's been posted before. Search and you'll find the details. The assemblies were designed to work in left hand drive and right hand drive countries by doing what I mentioned.
