I just imported a Golf Syncro from Japan - LHD model - took it for a drive
the other night and it was white light, **BUT** did I piss a lot of other
drivers off as the lights on low beam put the beam into oncoming traffic!
Needless to say I now have these lights removed and the correct LHD lights
are in the Golf.
