V8 Vantage Gaydon era LHD headlights

[charlie031158]

Hi. Anyone know how to switch the headlights to RHD driving ? car imported from UAE into the UK. An engineer removed the wheel and cover, no handle. Believe Aston may have only fitted this feature to RHD ie fee LHD cars would end up in RHD countries ? Thanks

Did he remove the wheel, the wheel liner insert and then the waterproof cover on the back of the assembly?

If he did, then maybe he didn’t look hard enough. It isn’t obvious, the lever is a bit hidden in the internal gubbins. You have to shine a torch in to see it and you have to reach in to adjust it up or down.

From what I have seen and read, they are two type of headlights LHD and RHD as some RHD were for sale in the UK and someone bought them to put on his LHD car in North America and they couldn't swing them all the way over. You would have to look at the parts from AMBits or something like them to see if there are 2 parts for the headlights

The lever adjustment was dropped a few years after Start of Production.

No lever, later version lights and you'd have to buy RHD ones.
