So lights from Britain and other weird side of road driving countries
aren't good for US because of different cutoff,right? There's a pair of wraparound H1/H4s on Ebay now...

Actually their better, because they are not regulated by DOT....

JUst like the RS2 lights many of us have.
To date the RS2 lights, mated with Euro SilverStar bulbs, are the best performing lights I've found for the B4 Audi!
Plus they look goooood! ;O)

Yes you are correct, all right hand drive headlight lenses have the wrong cutoff.
The will blind oncoming drivers and mo illuminate the road ahead.
The cutoof will be like this:
-----\_______
Instead of what we need, like this:
______/------
So, yes you should only use lenses from a LHD car.

Yes.
I bought an RS2 headlight off a guy in the UK who bought the proper LHD headlights (not sure why he didn't just change the lenses) and sold me one of his LHD headlights. As a side note, I never received that light. I got hosed for $150 :-(
