They bolt right in. Takes a little bit of wiring and some adjsutment.
Theres a huge thread on this in the electrical forum. Read that its guaranteed to have all the answers to your questions

Ok i've read a lot on the light being projected the wrong side of the road.
And what's worse is that im planning to go HID with the projector.
First i need to reverse the cutoff shield, swap the lens for a lens from a HID projector and preferably use a different bowl to try and keep it close to oem as possible.
Just trying to get more insight on this if im on the right way or if something else could be done,let me know

I'd imagine if you swapped the whole projector housing out for the HID out of a LHD car it would be oriented correctly for proper cutoff and all that sort of thing.

If you re-aim the projectors to the right, it really isn't that noticably RHD oriented.

there's definite difference in the projected beam, HOWEVER it's not very noticeable at any point in time, the left side has a taller beam, whereas the right is shorter, both have an equal horizontal spread.
mark's right though, just aim them right and you'll love every second of it.
I've thought about switching the projectors themselves, but it's really really not worth the effort.

Well i've went ahead and open up the headlight and took out the projector..
I can't bear to have a cut off shield in the wrong position, i'll try to get some pictures of the cut off mods.I know it sounds pretty stubborn*.
And maybe it'll become the JDM projector RHD to LHD tread who knows. :eek:
*(Could also be replaced by incredibly stupid since he already destroyed a JDM projector headlamp...) :|
