They are flat beam xenons and should be easily adjustable to a right bias (vertical and directional adjusters are on the back)

The adjusters only change the pitch and the sweep, not which side of the light kicks up to illuminate the pavement side.

The actual kick is build into the projector lense.

However as the kick is far less than standard back reflection lights and an etched glass headlight it appears to be flatter.

So there is limited difference between LHD and RHD. However that difference is enough to impact on MOTs and in Ade's case his Control Technique in France...and we all know the French love red tape.

Would a US spec headlight unit solve the problem. Usually around $600 to $700 each but im sure you could make an offer for two. Just factor in the shipping and duty / taxes into the cost.

Either that or ebay italy might have some.

Sorry Newron, they are close to standard for high end cars in the US, so as posted a good source of xenon light units...if you can get one in that colour.

As it is the Elipisodal lens that forms the light pattern you only need to change that rather than the whole unit.

So in theory you could use a damaged unit and just swap the light unit.
