Deflecting Projector Headlamps?
I have been told it is possible to deflect the beam of a RHD projector to LHD for touring, does anyone know if it's possible and how, I was told there is a lever but I can't see it
It's a Mk1 pre facelift by the way |

My boss was told the same about his Jag so i rang the dealer & they said "yes it's possible"
"how do you do it?" "no idea it should tell you somewhere in the book" I couldn't find it in the book but you can get beam benders for projector lamps from Halfords for £8 that's what I ended up osing Regards Col |

It's only fitted to Mark 1 models with projector lamps. On the facelift, both the bulb and HID type dips have it. This is from the 2004 handbook.

I upgraded my headlamps to projectors. One of the units was a bit old (still new), made in UK and didn't have the arm to switch the beam. It could still be done just by reaching in and pushing up/down the metal bit which the arm would normally connect to. The other lamp made in china did have this arm (which was bought from SMC .
Most odd.
