LHD headlights
Hi all, I recently picked up a 2005 75 Connoisseur Tourer in England and need to change the headlights for lhd, for driving in France permanently.
Anyone got any ideas where I might pick up a pair at even halfway decent prices. Cheers Dave |

if you remove the inspection catch and look at the back of the headlights you will see a rod to change the beam pattern to suit.
now what I am unsure of is if that would do you as a permanent fix or not but it may do as a temp measure. |

Does this apply to non-zenon projector lights please? I'm not sure what you mean by "the inspection catch"? Is that the panel in the wheel arch? Or something else altogether? Many thanks for the reply Dave |

Not trying to confuse but are the normal projectors different from the xenon's?
Only mention it as the levers on my last xenon equipped 75 were under the rubber covers on the back of the main beam. Last edited by J1MBO; 13th June 2012 at 14:38.. |

There was one set on E-Bay for 1,200 Euros !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Been using stick on deflectors for the time I've had my Rover 75 here ( in France. ) and it goes through the CT OK every time. You might be lucky and have a sensible bloke in the testing station near you. Bon chance, mon ami. Colvert. Last edited by COLVERT; 10th August 2012 at 18:46.. |

headlights
This local (Sweden) ad caught my eye the other day. Guy selling headlights asking for 500kr (doesn't say if it's for the pair or not) which is just short of £50. Nothing to do with me other than trying to be helpful.
Mejla - mail link. http://www.blocket.se/hassleholm/Rov...3.htm?ca=5&w=3 Will help language wise if needed, but most Swedes cope well with English, pm me if necessary. Regards |
