I take it this is a temporary solution and not suitable for the German TUEV/MOT, or can I take it there are made-to-fit kits out there? Would be nice, but too good to be true ;-)

Begining to wonder if it's worth it.
Both my daughters car and mine have now gone through the CT on FIVE occasions with just the small stick on converters that you can buy at Halfords or the ferry ports.



PS. You can get round the cert. of conformity too. It is not necessary to pay it. ( Re:- previous posts on the forum where somebody has found how you do it. )

No luck within the price wanted, so far. No answer from Sweden either. Has anyone found a way of converting RHD projectors to LHD and will they fit a 2001 ZT? Was just a thought, as I was offered a pair. This subject might have been covered already.

I don't know whether this helps or not, but I've just had a quick look on the eBay Germany and Spanish sites and there are some on there, but you'll need to be sat down for the prices!

I've given up on the usual German Ebay sources. Yes, you could buy a second-hand RHD 75 for the prices some of them are asking! Fact is, dreamers usually end up waiting for months on end, without much success. The German sources have been advertising the same headlights for at least three months. Maybe they think LHD means made of gold!
