Default Headlight converting

Does anyone know if the headlights in a disco 2 2004 facelift can be converted from right hand drive to left hand drive or do I need to buy new lights? If so where can I buy them from ?

The reflectors are different so probably not, but why? The difference is minimal

Because they will shine into the eyes of on-coming drivers.

Defo cannot be converted. They are about £250 each new for OEM in the UK, try Ebay or the other option is to source from a good wreckers yard in the US and repolish them with the 3M's kit. Your first port of call could be Paul Grant as I'm sure he can help you with these.

Alternatively, buy a correctly handed projector conversion kit to install in the existing units.

I was going to do this to rid myself of the horrid amber. The RT handside lights are available but the issue is the wiring for US D2s....there was a company that had after mkt alternative US lights that have the amber converted to clear . But I cant find the link anymore

I will jump on the bandwagon here because Ive been wanting to get rid of my amber lenses for awhile now. I love how the UK spec headlights look for the 2003/04 Disco 2.
