LHD vs RHD h'lights



<<Fm: INTERNET:AUDIDUDI@delphi.com Subject: RHD v. LHD euro-lights


So, does anyone know if the lights sold in the UK (for use on RHD cars) have
the same beam pattern as the lights used on LHD cars elsewhere? >>

Because the Brits drive on the left, their lights throw to the left so as to
illuminate the nearside/curbside on a single lane road. This is the opposite to
Europe and the USA. Thus if you fit these lights you will not only blind
oncoming traffic, but you wont see your own right curb on dipped beam which is
essential, especially when dealing with other oncoming lights.

The only solution to your need is a replacement with lights fitted on a car
sold on the continent of europe (not only Germany) with reflectors and glass in
unblemished condition with new bulbs. I am searching for a pair of 92-100 (new
shape) h-lights for which I cannot even get the Euro p/n from a dealer in the
US. But I shall prevail eventually!
