Thread: Headlights LHD vs RHD

  1. #1

    Default Headlights LHD vs RHD

    I was looking at headlights on ebay in the states and came across headlights that were for a LHD mazda and not a RHD mazda(Australia).. Who knows what the differences are and if you can use a LHD set on a RHD car??

    Don't buy them. The beam is focused differently, the lenses and reflectors are quite different between LHD spec and RHD spec lights.

    Yeah you would be blinding oncoming traffic if you used LHD lights over here!

    Some headlights (more so in europe) have a small lever so you can adjust the beam cutoff to suit which side of the road you are driving on, I doubt these would have this feature.
