Ah I totally agree with you both. I adjusted my left side down and right side higher to compensate.

In terms of the projector pattern, it is identical to my Lexus that came with projectors from the dealer.

As long as you adjust them accordingly you won't have issues.

You will have more issues with led in halogen housing than JDM headlights for sure.

As for adjustment, no extreme adjustments. Still had tons of room on either side. I leveled it to have the most usable light without blinding other drivers.

Were these plug and play? Any kind of custom work necessary?

So my limited headlights are JDM. Was 900 cad (700 USD). The male 8 pin plugs costed 3 dollars for both.

I actually like the JDM ones more since I don't need to put a sticker on it for amber deletes.

Where did you find the jdm wiring its different from the usdm, my high beams dont work with a foxbeam lighting adapter because the usdm plug puts the high beam positive and negitive on empty terminals on the jdm head light plug,

Definitive Guide on Halogen to LED Headlight Conversion

Swapping the LED headlights onto the lower trim level models is something many of us want to do Past mods have involved splicing into the wiring harness, which requires you to cut the wiring harness on both your vehicle and the headlight. I'm not a fan of that. I therefore decided to find the...

Oh I didn't use an adapter to install my headlights. I unpinned the wires I needed from the JDM LED headlight 16 pin plug, and pinned it to the 8 pin plug that was on the Halogen housing following the link above (I did buy new 8 pin plugs, but you can reuse the ones that were behind the halogen housings). That wiring diagram works with USDM and JDM headlights.

It took 10 minutes to make mine plug and play. High beam works as normal.

So for 17-20 impreza I would want the JDM GK GT headlights?

GK/GT, yes. USDM or JDM will work. They are essentially the same.

As mentioned earlier.....being JDM RHD lights. These led projectors have the same adjustability as USDM lights? Like I would be able to make the adjustments to properly aim beams and not blind on coming drivers as well as properly light the road in front of me?

Beam patterns would leave your adjustments pretty poor, since they come up a bit on the outside, lighting up what would be the presumed ditch. JDM headlamps in North America will need a significant adjustment to not blind other drivers, but would inhibit your own vision. Best thing would be to get usdm limited trim lights, you already wukd bpaying shipping across the Pacific for JDM lights, that USDM lights would be safer and about the same price.

The adjustment is there. I don't think anyone really has the experience to say what the beam pattern difference will ultimately be once you make the adjustment, (besides @tiramisu403 who stated his JDM units were adjusted to be just fine.) I'd have to see pictures of tests comparing both in a controlled setting to be convinced its horrible. However, it's a decent investment, so if you want to be on the safe side, just grab USDM lights. There's plenty of them out there.
