New UK Headlights?

Just bought and fitted some Depo headlights (from https://www.a4h-tech.com/en/depo-head-l ... lude-97-01) but apparently I messed up because they are probably LHD lights.

Anyone know if these exist in a RHD format? I don't like Angel Eye lights, and the stock ones were pretty far gone; could not be polished to save them, reflector housing had started to split, plus 2 of 3 clips broken so they were angled wrong anyway.

Honda have discontinued them, so any companies showing new ones as available have not updated their websites.

I have searched long and hard, and all the aftermarket ones seem to be from the States and Europe, and would be lhd. They may be able to be converted, and I would imagine, someone on here knows all about that.

As far as I am aware, the only other option would be a matter of sourcing second hand ones from the UK or Japan.

That's what I had thought. I'll go test them out anyway to see what they are like. Can't be the only one running aftermarkets, so should be able to finesse its way through an MOT.

Polishing doesn't remove enough of the plastic to get rid of the clouded part, or if it does, the plastic underneath is already on the turn and they only last 6-12months.

You will need to sand them until they are rough/cloudy. Then when you apply some 2k lacquer , they will go completely clear. I haven't done this yet but its on my list as the polishing only lasts a little while. Ratty has done this and I believe he is happy with the outcome.
