Range Rover Sport Headlights identical?

Hello,

does maybe someone know if the lights for de RRS are all the same? I would like to modificate headlights and here in middle europe they are more expensive than in GB!

But in GB they drive at the wrong side Laughing you got right traffic, we got left traffic!

Is it true that i can chance it directly on the headlights?

Regards
Emanuel

We know that most of Europe drive on the wrong side...don't worry.

There is a LHD version - although you can flick a switch to make a RHD LHD Mike

Mike, flicking the switch doesn't change it from left to right, it cuts the top of the beam off so that it does not hit on coming traffic. As a permanent fix you need the correct lights Whistle 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

Thanks simple...I appreciate that - I was just point out you can change old style RHD to work on LHD's roads, so you could fit RHD on a LHD and use it Mike

Mike Thumbs Up
You are correct in what you say but come test time be it here or Europe, if the beam isn't triangle shaped lights aren't working as should hence why beam converters are not accepted. My E30 325i X came from Switzerland and had to have RHD lights fitted to conform. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

On the 2013 range rover sport there is no adjustment on the headlights no switches nothing. When you go abroad it is apparently okay.

I didn't realise they tested them to that degree - they only just test it at MOT time here

Its common knowledge the 2013on vehicles across the range now have flat beams Thumbs Up Mike

I didn't realise that Shocked

I assumed I had to move a lever as MY10 before - just checked handbook and you are right Thumbs Up

The headlamps are adjustment free, with a
beam pattern that eliminates the need to
mechanically adjust the lamps or add any
external obscuration decal.


This being the case if Emanuel fits UK MY13 lights wouldn't they be legal Confused Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW
