It SHOULD be possible, I suggest finding out EXACTLY what bulb is in your car at present, then contacting these people: www.theretrofitsource.com who are in the USA.
Tell them what car, model etc you want to convert, what bulb is there at present, mention it needs to be RHD, and ask for guidance.
They are excellent to deal with.

Have a look here, based in the Netherlands I think. Been debating whether to take the plunge with this for a while but still not 100% sure they look right with the projectors in.

If it were me, i'd go with the ones from the USA. They have been doing this for ten years now, and know the stuff inside out.

That Dutch one looks very new with little choice...but it's your car.......

Yes. And the beam patterns and cutoffs are FAR superior to any halogen, and blow aftermarket HID out of the water.

What do you guys think about fitting single or double projectors to each head light I've been thinking about fitting the projectors myself for a while and then I see a picture of a blobeye fitted with 2 to each light

IF THEY PHYSICALLY FIT it would be outstanding.
