Ok, it's too late. They've touched down in the UK. I purchased some new headlights for the Monaro from the USA (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181289034325?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT). What did I totally forget about in my excitment? Beam pattern, classic fool. derp!

So my beam pattern will be off, can I do anything?

Drive upside down? ah, correction drive backwards!
You could pull the lenses off the old ones and put them on your new lights.
If you order some more from say down here, make sure you order the correct ones as there a few different sizes.
The early cars had different sizes to the later cars or the Monaros did, not sure on the HSV/VXR cars. Looking on ebay looks like the later cars were different on the HSV/VXR cars to.
Gulp they aren't cheap for a pair. AUD$700.

US doesn't have a beam bias, so you could adjust the dip to be low enough. The problem is, this will be worse than UK lights.
