lhd to rhd headlights
« on: October 17, 2008, 11:28:25 AM »
Hi guys

I seem to remember a good few years ago reading that you could buy LHD headlights and with a knife cut the glass away form the reflectors and thus fit your RHD lenses ont nice new reflectors, has anyone tried this with any sucess before I go buying a set?

cheers Doug

Did a pair only last week, the old glue around the RHD lens comes out easily as is very hard, Then as said on the new one warm it up and scrape it out, should take about 30mins to do a pair, just be gentle with the RHD lenses !!!!!.

LHD lighs are about £5 each plus postage.
