    Convert UK to Euro Lights

    Hi All,
    I was wondering if anyone new if I could 'simply' (not sure if it is simple) replace the glass on my UK lights with EU glass? I've currently got some cheapo Angel eyes lights in that are impossible to adjust (so will fail the MOT here in Belgium). I'm not really ready to spend €600 on some full replacements... My UK lights are the old standard lights - not the projector bulbs.

      I was wondering if there was any other difference except the glass.... ( I'm really hoping it's this simple )
      Is anyone able to confirm if I would need to change anything else?
      Next question - where would I get said glass?
      Cheers

        Sorry to reply to my own post...

        Is anyone able to confirm that it is 'just' the glass I need to replace - I need to make a move soon as my MOT is due... Thanks for any advice!

              Hm, on the elipsoid headlamps there is a handle to switch them from lefthand drive t righthand drive.
              I am thinking that in that case there is no difference in the glass?!

                Elipsoid glass is the same for both lhd and rhd.
                The handle only changes the dipped side, rhd dips to the left to see the curb. when you switch the handle it only lifts the dipped side to to give a straight line (no dip) for the true change over its quite a big job...
