Hola!

I have taken my Jeep Cherokee from the UK to Spain where I will be working for the next 6 months minimum. Cars in the UK are RHD, in Spain LHD... so I really should exchange the headlamps for LHD units.

Does anyone what shipping might cost from the US to Santander, Spain, postcode 39001, and what I might expect to pay for a the used pair of lights?

Gracias!
Benny

????????
Head light are head light. I have never seen or heard of a right hand and left hand drive headlights. Head lights are headlight.

beam pattern is different for LHD and RHD.

How about just swapping the left and right lamps and then aiming them correctly?

In any event I would not get a used set of lamps. New standard lamps are not expensive.

You guys are funny. There is a difference.

RHD laps shoot a bit off to the left away from oncoming traffic and LHD shoot off to the right. It's in the lens cut.

That said, if you moved from England to Spain, you should be able to buy the correct parts in Spain.

They are just adjusted different. No difference in the head light it's self.

youre wrong. they have different lenses.

for left hand drive cars, the beam pattern is as so: ___------

for right hand drive cars, the pattern is as so: ----_____

this is not the left headlight being aimed higher than the right, or vice versa. this is the actual pattern of the glass (or complex reflector) of BOTH headlights.

Well, I learn something new every day.

heres an image of the beam pattern for left hand drive US cars.



essentially RHD cars are the opposite pattern.

Only reason I knew is I've used European headlights for years......
