LHD VS RHD headlights (Levin)

[Lt86]

Mornin' guys,

My Levin AE86 is a LHD vehicle. When I bought the car, the headlights were visually in great condition, but the height adjustment mechanism was stuck. To get the car through MOT I needed to fix this but I didn't manage to do so.

Anyways, I bought a set of RHD headlights but obviously driving on the LHD of the road, this isn't ideal. Setting my lights low not to blind traffic really leaves me in the dark in winter.

I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to just switch the covers of the headlights? RHD to LHD. Anyone done this before? Is it possible to take them apart.
I'm not able to check myself at the moment but this was running through my mind .

Secondly, what bulbs would you recommended for max visibility?

Thanks!

You can remove the glass by heating the headlight unit in an oven (at low temperature, carefully!).
The glue becomes more supple at higher temperatures and you can pull the glass off during that time.
Make sure the reflectors are not different, you can change them out while the headlight is opened but
chances are the little pivots they are mounted on will break due to brittle old plastic. Those can be replaced
as well.

I have Michiba Goldvision 3000k bulbs. Slightly better than stock and it looks cool. But for even better visibility i bought jdm levin foglights.
