Headlights from Germany US etc wrong beam direction?

[hammoj28]

Quick question,

Tried googling but didnt find much info of any use.

If I bought a set of Headlights from the US or Germany for the E30 would the beam pattern be wrong for driving on the left? Or can they just be adjusted?

Cheers

James.

They can be adjusted for rhd by just releasing 2 or 3 screws and then rotating the unit.

Easily adjusted. There are 2 or 3 small screws on the back of the bowls, you undo them and then twist the unit and then do them back up and bish bosh, RHD headlights

Hehe, just what I wanted to hear. I've heard problems with other cars so thought it better to ask.

Thanks for the quick responses.

US spec OE head lights are sealed beam units and are not the same as european ones.

As above US spec are sealed beam made by GE. And the above info on lights is only true for OE lights from Hella or Bosch. Copy lights may no adjust.

Ahh, ok. Good point. Thanks for the info. Think I may just have to DIY smoke mine then. Would be easier.

If you need the metal crosshairs for the high beams let me know.

Smoked Hella's adjust so your safe buying them.
