Does anyone know of a way to get the S13 J's "brick" headlights working legally on a LHD car?

Is there an aftermarket unit that will work?

I've done a search but didn't turn up much.

Step one, remove pop up front end
Step two, install Silvia front end

Is there something I’m missing?

I'm just talking about the lights. They were only ever supplied on right hand drive cars. While you can put them in left hand drive cars they blind oncoming traffic at night as the beam pattern is the opposite.

I'm wondering if:

1. They can be flipped (maybe heat them in the oven and flip them over - but I don't know if the seal)
2. Someone makes a flipped version for people like me.
3. There's some random LHD version that wasn't sold in North America but was in Dubai or Russia or somewhere and I can get them from there.

Isn’t easier to just adjust the headlight beam down? I have triple projectors but haven’t messed with the adjustment.

You can adjust the beam pattern and aim them pretty well. You still however cannot see shit though.

I just adjusted my right projector up so I don’t have the cutoff anymore and I can see.
