Did I get the wrong ellipsoids?

[uflnuceng]

I bought some ellipsoids for my E30 that I never got around to installing. I bought them from a guy in England and now I am about to sell them and I think I may have screwed up. Do these headlights have a different beam pattern because they are from a right hand drive car?

[Dave]

I think they are the same parts, they are just adjusted to point the wrong direction. Whereas ours and the DE ones point slightly to the right to avoid blinding oncoming cars, UK ones would point slightly to the left to do so. I would guess that realigning them would fix things for you.

Is that an easy thing to do?

[Dave]

I am not sure. Never had to adjust my ellips, they were set perfectly when I got them.

been covered a bunch of times before. you just have to loosen the 3 screws, and twist it a little till the tick is pointing at the " RD " and not the "LD" look closely and you will see it.

Sorry... I did a search for LD, left hand and england in "lighting" and couldn't find anything, hence why I posted. I will check this out when I get home this afternoon... thanks!
