Citroen C3 Picasso Headlamp adjustment motor

[russbif]

I need to buy two new headlamps to convert my LHD C3 Picasso to RHD, is the adjuster motor within the headlamp or is it elsewhere? Carparts4less tell me that the H/lamps do not come with the motor, not a problem if it can be swapped from car to car.

Any advice gratefully received

not sure on the C3 Picasoooo,
but normaly the adjuster motor/servo is a bayonet fitting into the back out side of the head lamp unit,

also if converting to RHD you might find you heed RHD rear lamps,
as a lot of cars only have one rear fog lamp built into the main rear light unit,

if this is the case the car will not pass a UK MOT

rear lamps are not a problem, both the lamp units are identical, just a red bulb for the fog. Just need to clarify the headlamps, I have spent the day googling and cannot find anything. Anybody got a Haynes mabnual that show the headlamp installation?

Just a thought. My cousin has an Audi TT, and when he went to Scandinavia on holiday all that he had to do was to move a lever in the back of each headlight to switch them from (in effect) RHD to LHD. He also stuck a Post It note to his return ticket to remind him to switch them back.

so are you saying you have a working rear fog lamp in both rear lamp units,

as quite a few small cars only have one fog and one reversing lamp, depending on left or right hand drive to wich side these are fitted/functioning,

to pass a UK MOT you must have an O/S rear fog lamp working

[russbif]

Both the rear fog and reversing lights are exactly the same unit (just opposite hands), the reversing light has a clear bulb and the fog light a red one. Just need to switch the feeds over.

It might be possible to connect up a Lexia and tell it about the change of country, which might deal with the rear lights. When I took delivery of the Octavia, I found the NS fog light wasn't working (the OS was). When I queried this I was told that this was due to the country setting, done as part of the initial pre-delivery checks.

Thats a good thought, I shall investigate, thanks

[citronut]

ok
i had never seen red bulbs before,

as James says maybe you switch it over in the software,

on my daughter Xsara Pisssscasoooo you could set the instruments for kilometers or miles per hour with the dash board switch's

[russbif]

I also can change from km's per hour to miles per hour via the dash menu, but I reckon I may will need a Lexia handset to do the lights. They have had coloured bulbs for some time, an old mondeo of mine had orange bulbs in clear indicator housings

[citronut]

amber indicator bulbs have been around for some time now,
