Looks good to be RHD to me... more light to the kerb side. If you don't want them I will take them off your hands bud.

the kick is on the right so does that mean its left hand drive?
these lights driving me crazy ,if lhd tim do you still want them?

Not sure if it's just the pic/ angle but the kick up there doesn't seem to be much. But from what I can see, yes it does look like it's kicking up to the right - therefore for LHD cars.

The only way you'll know is to connect one... If you were close enough I could power this off the car to save you the hassle of fitting them and then finding out. Alternatively if you have a PC supply I can talk through what to do...

Ah I stand corrected... thought the deflector was "from" the bottom... LHD they are then. Would still be good to see the pattern, Can you not just put a std H7 bulb in and attach a couple of wire to a battery... simples  :wink: How far are you from me... I have a couple of fully charged 079 Battery's in the garage... 5 min job...

You have PM...

That's the right part number out of the depo catalogue for RHD!

Definitely RHD. The SABS approved logo is a total give away. SABS is the South African Bureau of Standards, and South Africa being RHD, there you go.

Mo, the kick up to the left is right...Defo RHD these.

For future reference, this is what the lever and mechanism in headlights looks like:

This sits in front of the bulb and behind the projector: notice quite clearly the kick up to the left...



Most OEM headlights which have a lever are able to neutralise the kick to flat, like this:



In aftermarket lights, it's often kick up left or kick up right, rather than neutral.

Hope this helps.
