Projector headlamps.
« on: July 28, 2013, 06:58:58 pm »

No customs charges here :happy2:  Had a pair of these installed for a couple of years without any trouble  Genuine HELLA too.   You might want to get 4 osram nightbreakers for them.

Do these units definitely come as RHD or are they simply switching a LHD headlamp to prevent blinding oncoming RHD traffic?
The part numbers for genuine Xenons are explicitly described in ETKA as either LHD or RHD yet certain unscrupulous people here have sold Xenons on the forum as RHD when they are clearly marked as LEFT HAND DRIVE.
I was nearly taken in recently by someone doing just this. Still haven't bought Xenons after nearly 2 years of looking and being completely duped by a guy in Scotland who took me for £450.
Gentlemen. Be careful out there.

I do understand the EU... it was the wording in the postage of "International items may be subject to customs processing and additional charges" but as people have had no issues it is probably fine. The listing is open to offers has anyone managed to chip a bit off the price.

I have seen others on ebay slightly cheaper... I don't think they are made by Hella though, but they do look like they are good quality.

These have the correct flick up to the left, the international postage customs disclaimer only applies if you live outside of the EU eg South London

On a tangent, are you guys using xenon bulbs? If so and have had an mot, was there any issues with the headlight level adjustment switch? As all switches should work if fitted.

I had a pair that someone has installed previously and my level adjustor doesn't work due to the factory fit projector lights being auto levelling and this have a blanking plate where normal halogens have a manual leveller.
