handed round headlights?

Post by itchyfeet »

There are right hand and left hand headlights
Can you take a left hand headlight and swap it on to a right hand frame and vice versa?
thanks

There is only one headlamp and frame for round headlamps, you rotate the frame for left and right fitting and then fit the headlamp the right way up.

Ok thanks
Brickwerks well left and right so I wonder if that's just because people are lazy or because the later aftermarket headlamps are different from oem

They just look pre assembled for left and right fitting.
