Guys,

If i buy a set of headlights from USA, will they be ok to use on my rhd car??

I'm assuming there is a difference between lhd & rhd?? Can they just be re-adjusted or something?? Is it easy??

Thanks in advance!!

If they're euro smileys or based on em, then yes they're compatible with both LHD & RHD. Otherwise, I'd expect it's unlikely... & as smileys tend to go for more there than here, I don't really rate your chances :?

What lights are they?

The ones in the link would have fitted fine as they have the ability to be converted LHD or RHD by the 3 screws at the rear.
