IVA Testing and UK sites not selling headlights for RHD cars
Discussion
Hello All
So I've got a Mazda CX-5 KF 2020 which I bought new a year ago in Ukraine where they drive on the right. We left in a hurry and I brought the car back to the UK and am in the process of importing it.
I've managed to change the scale on the speedo to mph and think I have a plan for the fog lights. But getting a bit stuck on what to do for the headlights. They are _not_ the motor driven kind and the manual says the car can be driven in countries where people normally drive on the opposite side of the road _temporarily_.
There is only a small kick up but I want to be in a position to know what to do if the IVA fails on that.
What I really don't understand is why are so many UK sites selling headlights only for LFD cars? If I buy new/2nd hand headlights I want the ones designed for UK roads and RHD vehicles. e.g. this:
https://www.buycarparts.co.uk/mazda/cx-5-kf/134042...
They are ALL for LHD cars as far as I can tell.
Icing on the cake for me would be to know if I need to change them and if I do will the RHD ones fit the car? Or at least likely to?

I would suggest that the cookies on your browser or from your search e gone profile still thinks you are looking for left hand drive based on your history.
Instead of searching for the part, go directly to a big parts suppliers site in the Uk, ensuring all your regional settings are UK/English, then search through by manufacture, part etc
