does anyone know what the difference is between left hand drive and right hand drive headlights?

 

i know that the dipped beam and main beam lights are mounted on the same bracket and can be adjusted, but can j-spec headlights be set up for left hand drive?

the only differance between the lights are that the kick back pattern on dip beam is pointing in different directions. ie in the uk we drive on the left so the beam pattern is directed towards the left to stop dazzing on coming traffic.

yeah i know , well i think i do

 

if you take out the head light and look inside and there is a plate that is angled at one side i am sure on the LHD light it angled the other way i can double check for you tomorrow if you want

 

that would be great matey :)

 

and pics too if you don't mind ;)

Usually, on projector headlights, the plates can be turned the other way round. This is an old trick used a few years back by people installing OE HID lights onto standard headlights. American OE HID BMW lights were usually the favourite as they were cheap to buy second hand and widely available.
