Headlamp, Changing From RHD To LHD, Halogen Headlamps (Through My 2012)

• If the vehicle is driven in countries where the traffic drives on the other side of the road (either right-hand or left-hand traffic) where it is normally driven, both headlamp glasses must be partially masked using appropriately designed opaque cover film so that the asymmetrical low beam does not blind oncoming traffic.
• There are different covers available for installing on headlamp lenses to adapt from RHD to LHD vehicles and vice versa.

Procedure 

-- Clean headlamp glasses and dry them.
