Title: Headlights and Europe driving
Post by: paulj on February 5, 2025, 20:29
Does anyone know if it is possible to adjust our headlamps to make them LHD compliant?  I am starting to plan a trip to the Alps this summer and wondered if that might be a better option than sticking the beam deflect stickers randomly on the lens.

I remember having a BMW of a similar vintage to the MR2 and the dealer being able to alter the beam for a foreign trip.  Is this a feature that Toyota also had?

Thanks!

I suggest that there is no way to adjust the beam of our headlights from RHD to LHD, witness that both types of headlight are available. If they were adjustable that surely would not be the case.
The "stick on" adaptors have been around as long as I can remember and I so I would like to think that they do the job if fitted other than "randomly".

Thanks @Joesson , the fact that they are "handed" probably means I am looking for something that doesnt exist.  I will resort to the stick on ones - and follow the instructions carefully!
