Phototutorial: RHD to LHD headlights

Hi,

 

someone outside UK can find this info interesting :-)

 

Japan facelift yellowish light

Baking 90°C for 8-10 minuts

Internals disassembled

Little bit of sanding, small sheet of aluminium and 2 rivets made the trick

Before MOT in Czech both headlights were LHD upgraded, cleaned and polished and MOT was successful !

On pre-facelift headlights this isnt necessary as the beam pattern is DOT type, so it is level. Facelift lights have the ECE-pattern which needs modifying like this. I have sanded the dot pattern flat a couple of times but in Finland it isnt even needed any more, but depends on the country of course..
