If you can remove it surely you can just flip it over then?

I doubt it. The plate isn't flat, there are bits sticking out which wouldn't fit in the right place if flipped around.

If you have spare 'shields' then yes you could swap them over

Well managed to find time today to install them.Took just over an hour to single handedly get them in and aligned to the body work correctly. Rushed out to a friend of a friends garage to get them aligned and heres the results.


Took about a min to set the beam and best of all he didnt even charge me a penny.

The flash shows the whole of the bottom edge as orange but the side lights are located on the outside edge of each light under the projector lense.
Very pleased with these lights so far.

I have these in my current lights and they are pretty good. I think all of the lights from the seller have sold now

I'm going to be putting osram silvertecs for the indicators, bright LEDs sidelights, osram super brights (65w) and yellow tinted full beam bulbs. Can't wait - fit it with my newly smoothed and colour coded GT grill. And see if I can get an ed30 lower spoiler too.

He set the headlight leveller in the car to 0, then there are 2 allen/phillips screws on the top of each light unit.He just turned those to set the beam to the right height on his beam setter.
