facelift headlight question
 
I'm in the process of getting euro (all white corners) headlights.

The ones I'm looking at are 63-11-7-166-815 and 63-11-7-166-816. I searched on realoem and it said that those part numbers were for a euro-spec. The NA-spec part numbers are 63-11-7-166-817 and 63-11-7-166-818.

So my question is, will the euro-spec lights work (the first two p/n's)?

Thanks

Yes they will be fine, I have fitted a pair of Euro UK spec lamps for RHD which I bought on E-Bay and they are fine, I have a NA spec X that I have imported to the UK and the headlights work fine, I had to get a garage to fiddle with the turn signals because here the side lights must be white not orange but the job was done without any grief.

Can the shutter on the Euro spec lights be setup for LHD so that it doesn't blind on-coming traffics?

these are LHD versions..... but I think it would require a lot of modifications to make RHD headlight into LHD....
