[dagenhamdustbin2000]

for having left hand drive headlights they cant be serious has anyone else had this problem? they say i have to get new headlights that dont face off to the right petty i reckon ?

[mk2_boy]

not really, should be an easy change~! if they r lhd the point in the completely wrong direction!

[Gibson]

No not really. left hand drive headlights beam pattern points straight at the eyes of other drivers coming towards you....

Ummm do you have 7" round head lights? i.e. MK1 Escort??

 

I dont know for sure, but cant you just spin them round 180 degrees and then there be pointing in the right direction??

Can't do it Colin. They'd then be pointing at the sky instead of the road

They should point to the left to light up pavement etc, if yours point to the right no only could you hit a pedestrian that you may not have seen but you would blind all the on-coming drivers, potentially causing anther accident.
