I have a 2004 111S UK spec in Spain and am going through the importation process. How do I convert the headlamps for driving on the right? Are they adjustable? Or do I need new units? Any advice welcome and if anyone has any other advice that would be great too. Thanks!

It will give a 'flat' dip beam. A compromise for driving in Europe but legal and the lights are pretty poor anyway.

Proper conversion is new parts.

I'm not sure if there is any way to 'fettle' a solution without new parts.

The thin asymmetric metal sheets which give proper right hand drive light pattern can be detached from projectors and installed in a reverse way to give LHD pattern. Very easy, all you need are pliers and a small file. Remove plexi light covers and all will be clear.
