Re: JDM SVX Headlamps
SVXs sold in France also have glass headlamps and the LHD beam pattern.

Re: JDM SVX Headlamps
There must be more of the covers out there, I have some Canadian ones even though we have plastic lenses.
You can see a picture of them here: http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...&postcount=660

Re: JDM SVX Headlamps
I noticed that the white SVX for sale in France had what looked like headlight washers. Was that an option in France as well as England/Germany?

Re: JDM SVX Headlamps
Headlight washers also optional on JDM

Re: JDM SVX Headlamps
Has anyone done a swap into a USDM SVX? I'd like to have a washer and finally use that switch on the dash.

Re: JDM SVX Headlamps

Re: JDM SVX Headlamps
You could probably install such a system from a different car with the same difficulty. A volvo/benz/bmw, etc. If someone wants to go for it, I'd be happy to help out with the wiring type stuff that people often have a problem with. Cutting the hole in the bumper is up to you though...

Re: JDM SVX Headlamps
I think I'm going to pass on the glass ones, it'll be impossible to find them and if I do they'll cost a small fortune. I am interested in the clear JDM corners however so if anyone has a nice set that (I'm assuming) will match up just as well with my US headlights, drop me a PM. Thanks.

Re: JDM SVX Headlamps
Hey guys, sorry for bringing another thread from the dead. I was just tackling the headlights project with all the parts I got years ago from all over the World. I was curious about one thing, in this picture you can see two headlights, one glass and the other plastic. I acquired the glass one from UK whereas the plastic one is a standard USDM headlight.
The dispersion pattern of both headlights is identical. How could that be? Am I missing something here?

Re: JDM SVX Headlamps
The difference is only in the projectors. There's something inside the projector that creates a light pattern that flairs up on the right, in the USDM lights, while the JDM, European (and I think the AUS and NZ) flair up on the left.
I have the UK lights on my Pearlie and my Black Beauty had the standard USDM light (but with SmallCar lenses).

Re: JDM SVX Headlamps
The headlight assemblies are the same. There are internal adjusters (you have to remove the lens to get to them) with alignment marks that designate DOT, EUR, or JPN. The German lights have the mounting inside for the fog lamp and adjuster since they also share the same housing with the rest of the world.
The glass/plastic lens does direct peripheral light, but the main focus is controlled by the internal settings. .
