    Which vehicle are you referring to? is there a left hand drive version available for the vehicle you are reffering to?

    Hey It is for a 95 right hand drive Hilux. Getting the Provincial inspection the head light need to be adjusted to the right.
    I need to know if I can adjust the lights without having to buy new brackets /housings for the lights to drive on Canada roads?

    Inspection shop wants $150 for new brackets Plus $175 for labor & $440 for day time running lights. that not going to happen.

    The DTRL you will need either way. You don't just need an adjustment.

    Thanks Sterdog

    I know that the DTRL has to be installed, I can do that for $130 Cole Hersee Kit. Vs. $440. No shop is worth $310.00 for 40 minutes.

    What I need to find out by Tapping into the Vast Knowledge, that I would find here by member that have gone down this road.

    Do I need to install new Head light brackets that would allow the new head lights to point to the right side of the road? As I have been told that I would have to buy New DOT approved head light.

    I wish i could tell you for sure about the brackets but I would think you would need the DOT headlight for sure.

    The kit is easy to install. can you solder? this will be the best way to connect the wires.
