Changing headlights from RHD to LHD

[jmartin]

Could you please explain why it shows that I have no subscribed threads on my CP and when I press the green circle next to my name it only says that I am online and doesn't give me any other choices.

I’ve got a B220. The dealer told me I could access the L/R changeover behind the sliding panel in the wheel arch. I can’t see any such kit. Anyone done this? Much prefer the dashboard switch i had on my Volvo

Not sure if the test regulations may be different in France to the UK, but here you can get away with fitting stick-on beam deflectors.

My SL320 is to UK spec but was originally supplied "to a NATO employee" in Europe and was fitted with right dipping headlamps (unkown to me at purchase). After I had the car for nearly a year and took it for an MOT the first time i was somewhat suprised to get a failure on the lights! The garage explained it was set up for driving on the continent and just said to fit beam deflectors, which I did. You may find that they need to be replaced each year as they are not actually intended to be permanent and dirt etc. may build up beneath them.

You could of course look at purchasing used headlamp units from a breakers yard which should be much cheaper than new ones.

I understand it is no longer allowable to use stick on deflectors in France to get through the CT.
