If you are installing LHD headlights, does that mean you are selling the RHD headlights to somebody in the UK or Ireland?

If you are installing LHD headlights, does that mean you are selling the RHD headlights to somebody in the UK or Ireland?

If he's installing the ones above, he will need to swap all the internal parts over to use his existing cases - these have had the under headlight trim mounts removed...

Or he could fit some metal brackets to allow the trims to be fitted...Linky which is probably the nicest way as these cases look lovely apart from that...

BTW, I understand the existing lights on the car are LHD...

[kevert]

Indeed. Current lights on the car are lhd. However one has a broken glass and the reflectors are not the best any more.

These units are brand new! However, I was pointed on the missing trim mounts in my other topic in Electrical. Will see what we can do.

@LHD Kid: the linky does not seem to work I get to Ebay however there is no item to find.

Yesterday picked up the car in the UK. WHOOOOOW!

I had driven it before, but only short drives. but 400km back to the Netherlands gives plenty of time to really get to know the car.

I just love 3500rpm+ acceleration

Next thing is inspection to get it registered in the Netherlands, that is one week from tomorrow.

Also will go looking for new tyres. The car is running 245/40/17 Michelin Sport tyres but they are too wide for the car if you ask me. I have read several items on here and other forums and understand most RS2 owners now run 225/45/17 tyres.

I will open another topic to see what other RS2 drivers have fitted re brand.

[snaak]

indeed 225 wide is the way to go.

Today the car has been checked for use on Dutch roads. Passed the test without a remark. Now I have to wait a few days for the registration. After that the car is ready for use on Dutch roads! Can't wait to take it for a spin again......
