Headlamps RHD LHD

petergalileo:
Is there anything that can be done to a set of Disco 3 headlamps (RHD) to convert them to LHD ?

Normally when driving abroad you get a sticker to put on the headlamp does this work in reverse ?

hobbit:
Yes they used to do the kits, or a black blind spot stuck on too.

I think now that they also do an overlay with plastic that can bend the light the correct way with the lensing in it

If you are planning a few trips abroad it maybe worth looking around for a lhd set spare second hand, you may strike lucky

hobbit:
Looks like there are some on the market to suit you there

mmm, idea was to bend the beam the UK way from a pair of non UK headlamps, but I suppose with those metro products ones you could just put them on the other way round.

I have (or will shortly) be getting a pair of Disco 3 headlamps, I am completely deranged and am going to try and fit them onto my Discovery 1.  I purchased the lights (bargain from ebay) but realised they are for RHD countries.  I thought what I would do is assuming I can get them to fit at all, I would use them with beam benders till I can get a pair of UK spec ones.

The I will Auction the RHD lights on Ebay france or another RHD country.

Lights were £100 for the pair and included the HID bulbs.

By the way, A stretch discovery sounds interesting, any pictures ?
