RHD and LHD headlights compatibility

[furkanbaba]

Hello, I live in Europe and have an F80 that survived a small crash. Long story short: the bumper, right headlight and few radiators has to be replaced. So a brand new headlight is 1.400€, which is a tremendous amount of money for just one headlight.
I found a nice headlight at a bargain price of around 700 bucks. The only problem is that it comes from the UK, so yeah, it’s an RHD headlight. I searched for hours and hours but couldn’t find on any forum someone who had the same problem as me.

So i’m asking you guys, can i use the RHD right headlight along with my LHD left one? I heard that there’s some lever in it that switches from RHD to LHD in the e46/92s.
For info, the part number that i need is 63117377842 and the part i found on marketplace is 63117476214

Thanks in advance for your help

sorry but you need LHD. RHD headlights are completely different hardware for the direction of the high and low beam. Go for a LHD headlight!

Yes, you need LHD lights. For example: A left hand drive vehicle will not swivel the lighting to the left to avoid blinding oncoming traffic. (Only to the right) It's impossible to code either from what I gather. I would also advise against a used headlight assembly. They're all from accident prone total losses and may not be what you think they are.
