Hello everybody, I would like to buy the restyled halogens headlights for my 2003 mcs.
But i have a question:

will a right hand drive set of headlight fit a left hand drive car??

Every comment is welcome!

cheers

They should fit, but they're aimed differently. You'll have to get a set of LHD ones.

I don't understand if they fit that's not ok?

Headlights are aimed a certain way as to not dazzle oncoming drivers etc - LHD ones, and RHD ones, are aimed opposite ways

ok! thanks mate!now I understand!

The Xenons should not be handed, they can be reset by the dealers so that the aim is correct for LHD/RHD applications. (The lights are only handed when the lenses are filtered, as the Xenons have clear lenses they should be adjustable)

There is a statement in the drivers handbook about getting them reset when going abroad.
