Headlamp Conversion for 1998 XJ8

I'm in the process of buying a 1998 XJ8 which is RHD, however, I require LHD headlamps. Are there conversion kits? Can the headlamp assembly itself be broken down and just the actual circular lamps purchased?

Any ideas please?

The outer (dip beam) headlamps can be replaced. Are the Main Beams the same for LHD/RHD ???? They just shine forward don't they???

Do you have self leveling headlamps? If so you need to buy the assembly. Otherwise as motorcarman said, so can swap out the outer headlamps.

Why do you need LHD lamps? Are you taking it abroad or something? I notice you're only in Burnley which isn't too far from me. Try German ebay or US. Britishparts.co.uk sells many international parts as does Blackcounty Jaguar.
