Default Headlight conversion

Hi all..
New on here so be kind

I need to convert the headlights on my 2006 S Type to European standard (LHD)

The car is a UK model so has RHD headlights...

It's been discussed before - it won't pass the MoT-equivalent unless you change them to the other kind.

hi
there is a tab you can slide in each headlight that makes it euro friendly
its in the handbook, but not sure if all models have it, maybe only cars with hid lights
it makes the beam flat, so it does not go up on the left to light up kerb area
cheers
Joe

Apparently it's fit for temporary driving but not for a resident.
