[Vwdiesel] SilverStar headlights

[David Cook]

Are the lights he is selling for British cars? 
Remember, they drive on the other side, so the
headlights may be aimed at the wrong side of the road,
blinding everyone in the process!  Just something to
consider when buying parts off a British, Japanese, or
Australian sold vehicle.  (I think those are all the
countries that drive on the wrong side of the road...)
