Headlights

Hi All

Having recently moved to France I need to replace my UK right hand headlights to European left hand drive lights

Does anyone know where I can buy these without taking out a mortgage (Land Rover Main Dealer) ???

All suggestions appreciated

Thanks

whats the difference?

try ebay & search worldwide.

To Aussie lander

They shine the wrong way (into the middle of the road) and are illegal in Europe. You cannot re-register your car in Europe unless you change the lights.

Thanks, I was assuming that. we only drive on the correct(lefthand)side of the road here.

I think the 2005 model has different updated lights to the 2002 model. If I were you guys, I would check this out first.
You use to be able to buy stickers which blanked out the portion of the light which shines the wrong way from car accessory shops. It might do you until you can pick up a set of lights in a French scrappie.

my fault for being thickie should have checked.

Hi Guys

Thanks for the info

Unfortunately the French Registration Authorities will not accept tape blanking strips on registration, so I will have to change the lights or the car

I still think that doing a worldwide search on ebay regularly might turn up a pair from America or Europe.
