depends what headlights
if its stock replacements with reflectors, you could probably just adjust it via the adjustment screws
projectors are probably the same story unless they have cutoff plates(i.e. hid projectors) which will probably require modifications to get the correct cutoff angle

projectors you have to open up and swithc the cut offs over


and standard headlights not a good idea to use LHD ones... they shine higher on
the RIGHT hand side to reflect signs where as RHD ones shine higher on the
LEFT hand side to reflect signs...

depends what tail lights too
altezza's from the states might have a red lens/cover thingo for the blinker which you'd get defected for over here, so you'd either have to replace it with an orange blinker or somehow make it fade to the point where its orange :p

if u get green bulbs, it will blink orange with the red lens. i had it with mine. no big deal. if the tails are smoked, just bare in mind that ur lights will not be as bright...cops might notice it...but depends how smoked they are.
