ok thanks.

they're on ebay. i'm offering to post worldwide and haven't stated whether or not they'd fit a LHD in the advert

but i had a mail from some guy telling me they won't fit a LHD car.
just don't want to sell something that's not right.

the beam will need adjusting to LHD spec (3 screws on the back)

They are adjustable to both left and right (whats the point of the manufacturere making lights for LHD and a different set for RHD when they can make one set for both left and right!)

Tell him he doesnt know what he is taking about ! (politly)

im going to let someone i know in the USA know about these, he has been after a set for ages.

He may want them shipping to the Netherlands though. ( half price shipping you see)

[Toby_Unna]

that's what i assumed. does it apply to all four lamps or just the smileys though?

haven't got the frames as one was cracked, just the four lamps. so presumably the lamps will bolt into LHD frames and point in the right direction.

yes. his name is quincey56 iirc

to fit onto LHD cars the beam needs adjusting. (loosen 3 screws, then twist it)

this is what i got

i have to mention to you that if these lights are from a U.K./right hand drive vehicle the lights are wrong for the U.S and most other coutries. i know because twice i have bought sets of RHD lights which when used in LHD countries the beam is incorrect and ends up shining in oncoming traffic drivers eyes. just to save you some possible aggravation with people complaining. i have a set now i need to get the correct reflectors (the difference between RHD & LHD) or sell. otherwise i would be interested in your lights.

Tell him he hasn't got a clue!!



There's no difference in the frames, or the main beam lights, main beam just throws light out and is not dipped.

The main beams just point straight dont they ?
I knew the dipped beam could be adjusted,read my manual
