Check when buying lights from USA, the 'cut-out' (or reflecting housing is shaped on other side)... This will project the light away from road in Oz! Im also lead to believe most from USA will not be DOT compliant?

Thanks for that
You're probably right but that's why I posted the question to see other people's experience. did not know if the angle of the beam is built in the reflector or when you adjust it externally....
Have you tried to rejuvenate them? About $30 from auto shop ie:autobarn will get you a headlamp lens kit that I have seen bring back yellow foggy lenses.

been down that path and a waste of money. It simply does not work once the plastic begins to craze (fine lines inside the plastic)
So Im after a replacement set and naturally cheap!
The bulb does not control where the light is thrown - the shape of the reflector does. If you bought in a car from the states you would have to change the headlights to RHD versions, otherwise you would be blinding oncoming traffic.
Our headlights on dip are flat to the front and right, but flare up to the left to show what is to the left of the road.
