It would involve pulling them apart and turning round the kick up plate inside the projector housing IF the headlight is made in a way that allows this.

These come with an excellent RHD beam:

Mine came from HK or Taiwan, though. You might be able to ask a supplier on Fleabay if they can supply RHD.

I think it was Crazy-The-God under e-bay shops.

But he doesn't seem to have any left...

Projector retrofit yourself or get a yank to make one off preludepower. Look way better than any of that ebay googly eyed pap too.

I have a spare set of headlights if you want something to butcher whilst yours are on the car.

Lenses are a bit lemony though so will need a refurb. Was going to do it myself but would rather not have the hassle. :lol:

I find the problem is, they keep dulling over again. Got bored with that rapidly.

Lack of rectilinearity does take a bit of acclimatisation, though.
