HOW TO - Change your Xenon's for European driving

Hi,

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but though it better than to start a new one.

Does anyone know when you change the headlights from RHD to LHD, if the pattern completely mirrors?

Right hand drive ones should look like this....
---------\_______

And left hand drives one...
_______/---------

Or does it just make the beam completely flat?

I ask as I wish to retrofit xenons to my car, and LHD units from Germany are much cheaper than UK ones. So basically I'm asking if changing LHD headlights to RHD setting will pass an MOT? If it is as simple as using VCDS to change them over, sounds like a plan to me!

Thanks in advance!
Chris.
 
Thanks for the reply.

Don't want to do a HID kit, as it's illegal, and looks awful in a halogen housing.

Anyone know if there is a lever inside the xenon lights to change them?
I know on my old Audi's with xenon's there was, not sure about on the A1.
