Looking to switch my factory headlights on my honda 2017 hatchback sport. Changing them to ones that look like a Type R. I wanted to know if these were gonna fit on mine. This is also the link to them on Amazon. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07ZCXF6NF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_E9RIFbHNAS5VR

I believe they are plug and play if you have the OEM halogen headlights. You can contact Vland directly through their website. You may want to check if they have the correct cut-off for your country since LHD and RHD cut-off for headlights are different and cannot be changed.

Well trust me I've tried contacting the company but there customer service sucks! but i don't know about the LHD and RHD because they're selling the headlights on Amazon in Canada, it even says this " Bolt-On OE fitment: It has the same connections and wires with the original cars, replacement for the stock Unit directly."

I actually contacted them about this previously and the reply I got was that they were for LHD cars only. However, I looked at a very similar set of lights on AliExpress and at a local online store. AliExpress told me they had models available for both RHD and LHD and the local online store told me that they had a flat cutoff. Since all of these headlights are pretty much made in the same factory I'd assume they all had a flat cut-off.

The only reason why I brought it up is because you can actually end up dazzling oncoming traffic if you get the wrong cut-off. It's essentially that stepped line you can see when you park your car close to a wall and turn on your headlights. They're reversed when you go from LHD to RHD.

Having said all of that, I have seen plenty of people in the US with the same lights installed and they haven't complained. There's even a YouTube install video, they probably show the output on there. I'm sure someone who has them can comment on it with more certainty. There's also a Morimoto set that resemble the jewel eye LEDs from an Accura as well.

I would get the ones that Morimoto/Vland produced since they have better output than other brands like Depo, TYC.

Search around here and you’ll see the feedback about Depo and TYC compared to Morimoto/Vland.

Yeah my steering wheel is on the right hand side. I think several people have got them in the US and used it without any issues. So you should be alright. The Reddit post below ordered a set from TRS and it ended up being a Vland branded one.

Get them from my dude at Unity Performance. Customer service is the best you'll ever get and he looks out for his people. Plus the ones he offers are cheaper in price and have a nice startup sequence when you start up your car or unlock the doors.

They look so good. Do you have them? Any pics of the output?
I have them installed, just gotta adjust them when I have more free time. I don’t have a garage to make it “perfect”. ?

They really modernise the front of the car tbh. I'm waiting to see some output comparisons between the stock ones and these. The LEDs in the headlights are okay in the rain they're no better or worse than stock halogens. I don't typically drive with my fog lights on unless it's raining heavily or foggy.
