    are RHD ellipsoids different?

    since they drive on the other side of the road. i mean is the cutoff to the left instead of the right?

            You can rotate all ellips to be either LHD or RHD.

                You see the three screws on the back of the part that holds the bulb and lens? Loosen them all and rotate the rear piece. It'll go from \_ to _/.

                      Yeah, I bought a set of euro ellips from the UK about a year ago and converted them to LHD ones. It takes like 5 minutes for both to switch.

                          You will need to undo the screws and pull the backs out a bit to rotate. There is a tab that goes into the front part of the lense that makes sure you dont align them wrong. as long as that tab finds the slot you are good.

                            That's the right way

                            I talk from experience, they're marked with L/G (Left/Gauche) and R/D (Right/Droite)
                            so it's LHD and RHD ,
