LHS headlights on RHS
So I'm from Australia looking to buy the aftermarket headlights, and wanted to know what issues I would have if I installed LHS headlights onto a RHS drive ?

I believe there is a lever or "switch" on top of the headlight that tells the light if it is installed in a right hand or left hand drive car.

A good friend of mine purchased a Vette in the UK and he lives in Germany. I know he had to send the light out to company to make this change. I imagine the same with BMW. I recently had my left headlight totally apart for a repair and I don't recall seeing anything that would be an option to switch the light beam.

there is definitely a lever on the pre lci xenons, I'm sure there will be something on the lci.
aftermarket I doubt will have this feature since it's unlikely they're produced for the world market
