Headlight conversion for driving on the opposite side of the road

[Andyk]

Hi

I'm going to Germany in a week or so and will be driving my UK Levorg (that is set up for the left hand side) on the right hand side of the road. What has anyone done in this situation regards converting their headlights to drive on the right?

Thanks
Andy

I mean, replacing the headlights so their reflective thing suits RHD will be expensive...

Thanks, I was looking at these but just checking first. My last two cars with LED lights had an option in the settings to alter the lights drive on the other side.

Do the newer model lights like yours also have a raised pattern towards one side? If it's relatively flat I wouldn't worry about it.
Mine needed to have the inner metal plate filed down to make the beam flat to pass the local inspection but that's a permanent solution

I'll try it against the garage door when home. (i'm away for a couple of days).

I've just been using the stick on adaptors from Halfords. They work just fine.

I have checked with the headlight beam on the garage door. The beams seam pretty flat on the LED headlights, so I think I will try it without the adaptors and see if people flash me (or if it seems to be shining high up on the left). I will take some adaptors with me just in case. The instructions supplied have a fitting guide for the Xenon Levorg lights, but not LED.

Here's a reference from mine. Lhd converted from rhd lights. If you're close, there should be no issues

I have a very slight rise to the left but it is very similar. So I think I should be ok. Thank for sending this over.
