Deflecting Projector Headlamps?

SMC Trading · 16th July 2009, 14:30

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

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.

yep little lever thing in each light changes the mask of the lamp simple to do if you can get at it

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.
