the light pattern of th left-hand drive car has longer distance on the right hand side of the car. the right-hand drive car is the opposite. so if you have the UK version, your headlight will light up the on coming traffic lane instead of your own lane.

Contacted Steve, I do have the Euro spec lights and not the UK spec.
Steve told me that there was a white in color flip inside the D2B housing that you could get to easily to control which headlight, either left or right has the upward arch.
US spec ones do not have this.
I was playin' around with this and I had both of them with an upward arch; sheesh, I was blinding people.
I decided just to flat line them, meaning to take the arch out of both. I'll post pics at my earliest convenience.
