C3 Picasso headlights

Post by russbif »

Is it possible to adjust the C3 Picasso headlights to suit RHD? or does one have to change the whole unit, I cannot see anything on the lenses that indicates hand of drive, so is it possible to adjust the bulb position within the headlamp unit

Ok, I'll try a different question...

If I lower the headlamps using the electronic adjustment, are they likely to pass the UK MOT?

It won't pass a UK MOT with LHD lights - they check the beam pattern, and will fail it for the kick up being on the wrong side. Usually altering the lamps is only an option on HID lamps - I would guess that complete new lamps will be required. There may be other troubles too - if it's only got one fog light it will be on the wrong side, for instance.

the fog and reversing lights are no brainers, it was just the headlamps I was trying to avoid changing, however, they are only £300 a pair, so not too bad. thanks for the feedback
