Hi Folks,


Can anyone help me or point me in the direction of parts supplier,
I need to convert my LHD Roadster 180 front headlights to UK spec, I
need a pair of xenons and cant find anything on the net as yet.

Any help would be much appreciated.


Cheers.

I'm not sure of the adherence to current MoT rulings, but the lights can be
temporarily "flipped" using a small metal lever in each lamp. (It's
documented in the handbook as a "dealer only" setting, but only takes a
couple of minutes to do. *Don't* have the lights switched on at the time!)

The TT Forum (tt-forum.co.uk) might have someone that can help; Xenons are,
for memory, /very/ expensive...

..... and don't forget you will need a headlight washer system - on the UK
225 it's a standard fit and they're known as "aliens" as they pop out of the
small square covers in the bumper. So all in all it could be mega
expensive.

Moley, unless I read this wrong, the OP has a set of LHD Xenons, and wishes
to convert then to RHD..?

Aliens all present and correct, for (IIRC) and TÜV-approved vehicle..?
