Help..... Need to convert E90 Aftermaket Xenon headlight from LHD to RHD

[sagetan]

Hi,To all pros, "old birds", bros and sis. Do anyone know any workshop or people who know how to convert aftermarket (Sonar) xenon headlight from LHD to RHD to suit our road usage? Did communicate with the overseas seller and he confirmed that this can be done by switching the lens inside the headlight to opposite position. This will then convert the headlight from LHD to RHD. But he recommned to get people or workshop who are familiar with car headlight to do the jobThanks in advance.View attachment 26847

aidil, I think he want to make the light profile from __/ __/ to this \__ \__

I think you have done this before.

But mine is the aftermarket type, not original BMW headlight so dont have the lever/switch to change directlyfrom LHD to RHD.

According to the seller, need to open up the headlight unit to reverse the lens as shown on the attached pictures.

Hope this helps

usually not reversing the lens, u have to dismantle the plastic panel, then remove the lens. from there, u can see the metal plate that covers the reflector. just reverse back the metal plate. done that before for E46 ci AL lights

No Jarance I haven't done this before. I didn't modify the imported projector because I got the FXR projector which is for LHD.

What Yazmeen mentioned is correct; need to be dismantled to readjust the cutoff pattern. Somebody familiar with projectors can do this.

Here is the shutter for AL

FXR shutter

Hi Yazmeen,

Finally managed to find a workshop that was able to do that for me. Yup, need to open the plastic panel and than reverse the metal plate.

Bro Yazmeen, now they already have FXR 3.0 which should be better than my FXR. I bought mine from ebay so the finish is worse than if you would buy it from here : http://www.theretrofitsource.com/index.php?cPath=25
