ive just picked up a pair of 2012 xenon facelift headlights. and didnt realise they were euro spec. the seller bought them for driving to france...

can i adjust them for uk spec? my current 2006 xenon lights have a lever inside to flip beam for touring...

i see you can manually adjust the light beam angles (two big white screws on back)

cheers

spence

As they are euro spec they will just have a flat beam so no problem , i have them on my uk LHD RRS. SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

well that sounds ok to me.

just last night i was playing with the beam projection onto my garage dooor. my uk ones do seem to kick up to the left. and the euro seem to have a flat beam pattern (the horizontal beam line slightly steps up on the right but does not project a beam up to the right.)

just need to home i can get a UK MOT. !

You should keep your original set and put them back in at MOT time to avoid any hassles with the tester. A friend of mine lives in Brussels and has UK Spec TDV8 LHD but on UK plates and after some hassles now just presents the car for UK MOTs with a set of UK setup headlights whenever he comes back to the UK for the MOT. Saves lots of questions from testers. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

i would do this, however im facelifting my 2006 to a 2012 look and once i fit the new wings i cant easily fit the pre facelift lights.

No problem with mine at MOT time. SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

i suspect the italian MOT varies from UK??

Mine is a uk registered car so its MOT,d in the uk every year. SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

ah yes sorry. well that really good news then
