I have found that I can get brand new xenon headlights (minus motor, which I assume I just put my existing one on), but they are from a company in Germany (with a .co.uk website).

If I buy them will they be set up to shine the wrong way on dip or is the set up in the adjusters?

Thanks

It all depends if they are LHD or RHD lights. You can’t modify the light pattern with the adjusters.

I accept I am probably getting confused with another car, but if my memory is working, the Xenon lights had a switch in the back to flick between LHD and RHD as you couldn't use beam deflectors. Check an owners manual for a car with xenons.

NOPE ! the lever on the lights sets either the default dip position .. left or right dip depending on country .. OR a neutral dip setting ... so left dip (UK) can be set to neutral for driving in EU land as an example ..   it CANNOT be used to set a right dip (EU) to left dip (UK)

\___  = UK    _____ = Neutral    _____/ = EU land

This.

I replaced mine with a set from Depo, and whilst not without their issues, passing the Mot wasn't an issue

But you can pass an MOT with a symmetrical beam pattern  (as I've done unintentionally)

I rest my case.
