So, I need to replace one of my xenon bulbs. do i need to order specifically left or right bulbs? cos i understand in other countries the left n right bulbs have different beam pattern to avoid glare to oncoming traffic depending if its left or right hand drive.
what about bolehland? same?

i checked with Phillips official shopee store n they said no diff left or right for Phillips bulbs.

i just wanna make sure.

cheers

The light pattern is determined by the reflector. So no left or right bulb lah or do you see seller label as left or right side bulbs ?
Only low or high beam with different watts. Lesen "L" ah.

if an engineer designs different bulb for left and right headlight, he should be fired.

Just want to add, the reflection pattern with and LED bulb is slightly different with regular bulb because the headlights was designed for the latter.

It is important to properly adjust your headlights after changing to LED, or else you will risk blinding everyone on the road while you still wondering why you still can't see as good as regular xenon bulb.
