Next March, my S-Class will be making the journey to Spain - to live :eek:

As I will be wanting to put it on Spanish plates, one of the requirements is for RH dip headlamps. I thought I would look into the possibility of fitting Xenon headlamps and, with a simple 'flick of a switch', would be either RH or LH dip (in case I needed to 'pop back' to the UK).

BUT - at a quoted price of £2800 :shock: - that solution is simply not on.

The headlamps alone (for normal lights) for RH dip, are between £500-£700 and don't really solve the problem of if/when I return to the UK for whatever reason.

OVER TO YOU guys/guyesses. Have you any ideas/suggestions please?

Ebay.de buy some LHD head lamps, some of these aftermarket kits can be suspect.
