I live in France half of the time & have re-registered my RHD 2001 Vogue. It passed the CT last time with beam benders on the headlights. I don't drive at night much & the headlights seem adequate when I do but I did wonder if it was worthwhile fitting LHD headlights.

I recall years ago when I lived on the Côte d'Azur that I re-registered a RHD MGF. It passed a CT with stickers on the headlights but vision at night was awful. Driving up & down mountain roads with a drop on the right hadn't sound was scary as I could see so little. I eventually swapped to LHD headlights & it transformed night driving as the headlight beam dipped to the right.

Has anyone done this? ie fitted LHD headlights to a RHD P38. Was it worth it?

There is only one pair of LHD headlights for sale on eBay for £290 delivered from Latvia. They look a bit tatty. New LHD headlights are nearly £400 each

PM me with an email address and I will tell you how to convert the headlights for LHD. :cool: Mine has passed with the mod for 14 years and curiously, my LHD turned out to have one RHD headlight which caused a CT fail, I quickly modded that one and that too passed.:)

I managed to stumble across a pair for £100 with the wipers, yet to fit.

only because the stickers bug me and I was rummaging for something else and couldn’t resist :).

For a £100 I would grab them too but £290 for a tatty pair seems a bit too much.

I'll post conversion details this evening when I fire up my office computer that holds the details. Cost nothing more than half an hour of your time and you can revert to RHD at any time.

Datatek i am very interested by this modification as my P38 has failed the CT because the CT guy rejected the stickers fitted to my rhd P38

Hi, welcome to LZ, send me a private message with an Email address and I will gladly give you details. I have 2 P38's with RHD headlights which pass and the mod also works on other cars. Several others have used the mod with success.
