LHD/RHD HEADLAMPS

I have a 993 with left hand drive headlamps. To change them to the correct UK right hand drive beam pattern, can I just replace the lenses, or do I need complete replacement units? Alternatively, would they go through the MOT as is, if I move the small lever on the rear of each unit?
 
they will pass the mot with the little arm moved over. I believe the only way to get proper RHD is to change the lights, although I stand to be corrected!

Agreed - I'm sure my headlamp units have a stamp on the black plastic at the back that shows they are RHD units. The small lever just flattens the pattern rather than mirroring it. But that should be fine for MOT.
 
I'm not sure where you are located, but if you need them I have a spare set of headlamp lenses.
 
They may well pass the MOT but the already poor dipped beam is absolutely terrible when switched over [8|]

Unless you're not going to be using it after dark I would suggest getting a pair of second hand units - you can always get new lenses if you want them to look new.
