Title: Lhd Crystals
Post by: OakeyDoak16v on 21 June 2007, 13:35

Does anybody know can lhd lights be adjusted to suit rhd cars?
Just bought a set off gay bay and seller is claiming complete ignorance to it.
Any thoughts greatfully appreciated

You need to swap the adjusters round by pulling the light off.
This is what an ebay seller sent me. You will find out you have to do this because you will run out of adjustment.
Also when you ve swapped them youll need to drill a hole in the metal behind the light. Youll see when you go to refit them.
Ididnt get the lights in the picture by the way,they look tat. :grin:
No they wont pass the mot,i had to bang the standard ones in till i got the pics on how to do it.
Hope this helps.

I have the same problem as I have to convert mine for UK registration. The mounting plates are also handed, so not sure if the lamps can be adjusted sufficiently. I was going to put mine back to normal spec. :undecided:

Alternatively, buy me some new Hella lamps and you can have my rhd crystal lamps :wink:
