Question 1

If I apply these to a LHD vehicle which is being permanently imported to the UK, will the vehicle pass the MOT test? Does DoT allow this?

Accepted Answer

I can answer for a RHD vehicle (a VW T25 camper) that I took with me to Germany for 8 years and had LHD headlights fitted. I couldn't find the old RHD headlights when I returned to the UK and prepared the vehicle for MOT. I'd already masked up the headlights to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic and the van passed the MOT lighting test easily. I was advised, understandably, that it would improve the amount of road illuminated if I were to fit the proper RHD headlights but it is not an MOT fail. RHD headlights for a VW T25 are like hen's teeth to get hold of, the van being some 28 years old, and since I rarely use the van at night I've decided to give up trying to replace them. The van has continued to pass its MOT with the lights masked up either with electrical tape or with proper masks such as the Eurolites stickies. I can assure folks concerned about this issue that having anti-dazzle masking on headlights is not an MOT fail; it does not even appear on the MOT pass certificate as an advisory. If you're still in any doubt I'd advise calling or dropping by your local MOT test centre.

Question 2

Hi, are these convertors suitable for use on an italian left hand drive travelling to the UK. Its a BMW 320 touring 2013? thanks

Accepted Answer

Hi I think they are suitable for all cars.  I put them on my left-hand drive Nissan X-Trail.  They are not very big and are only used to deflect the full beam from on-coming cars.  The converters available in the shops in the UK are not suitable for left-hand drive cars.  They are not expensive and are fitted in minutes.  A local garage fitted mine very quickly for no charge.  Hope this helps.

Question 3

The instructions is for rhd but the product is for lhd is it ok to install it with this instructions or it was sent to me wrongly ?

Accepted Answer

If your package as on a first image and says Left Hand Driver it will fit you. There is a misprint in instruction or maybe I am bad in English but product is for left hand vehicle (maybe it is of how you are looking on to your vehicle if you are looking on your vehicle from top/front which mean driver seats will be on your right) :)

Question 4

Hi, are these convertors okay for LHD 1992 Hymer motorhome

Accepted Answer

These converters are okay for just about every vehicle. It would help if you stated the base vehicle for your Hymer because chances are Hymer have used the headlights that came with the base vehicle - eg Ford, Fiat, Mercedes etc
