Could I convert RHD headlamp to LHD rather than purchasing two new lamps?
Is there a cheaper headlight that will fit and work with D2 other than the OEM model for the year? They are so expensive !

You may be able to get an earlier model's lights to fit in their place. I replaced one of my 2000 MY lights with one from a Disco 1
Which country are you in?
Here in the south-east Tarn in France I see Disco ones driving around all the time and I know a bloke who breaks Landies so has LHD headlights, I do not know about facelift model ones though. Disco 2s are a lot rarer than Disco 1s.

Ok thanks for the reply a freind in England just sent me this info;
Manual Adjustment:
Locate the lever: On many Discovery 2 models, there's a lever inside the headlight assembly, often on the right side of the projector module, that controls the beam pattern.
Remove the headlight: You'll need to remove the headlight to access this lever.
Adjust the lever: Switch the lever to the appropriate position for LHD driving (usually to the left).
Reinstall the headlight: Once adjusted, reinstall the headlight.

The only way I suppose to know for sure is take out the headlamp tomorrow and look for this lever.

Projector module.
Is this for the facelift headlights? In which case why not just take one off and look for it?
I do know that some cars do have this, years ago a bloke demonstrated his to me on his BMW and I think my ex- son inlaw had them on a let model Disco or a RR.
Don't think you have anything to lose by trying.
Isn't it in the owner's manual?

You can ask him yourself, he speaks Dutch, French and English.
His name is Robert and here I hope, if I can find it is his website.

You WILL have to tell him if it is a facelift model or not.
Are you French? If so you can post to me in French as I "do" French, having taught it for 34 years.

Yes they are the facelift headlights.
I did have a look through the owner's manual and searching through I couldnt find anything about the lever.
Tomorrow I will take one off. Annoyingly I dont have the 6 point e 10 socket.

Well if you were nearer, I could lend you mine!
Have you tried a really good search via Google etc about this lever you may find more info about it.
Just out of interest I'll have a search now just cos I'm interested!

I did find this, which says that there is one type of headlights for a facelift version where this works but only if you have "HID" dipbeam or summat, have a read of it and you'll see what I mean.
Headlights from RHD to LHD - change?
Now that I've permanently exported my 2003 D2 I'm thinking what to do with headlights. I have two sets, LHD and RHD...just wanted to check whether the RHD ones can't be set to LHD to keep as a spare set...I suspect they can't, but wanted to check before putting them on ebay.

Did you find the thread I linked to in post #13?

You probably would be getting the VIN re-punched on the rear chassis leg aswell
