LHD Headlights

[Blue Coupe 500]

Hi all,
I am preparing my 2013 Granturismo S for export to Spain and am looking for a set of used LHD headlights as new ones are a little bit pricey

Secondhand ones are still pricey! Try Ebay

Plenty of RHD ones available but havent seen any pairs of LHD on ebay.
Ive seen a few LHD lights available at online auto breakers, but often just one side is available because the car has in a front end crash
I did find a Polish website listing a lot of LHD headlights at good prices, but everything was in Polish so I was a bit usure about it

If only we knew someone in France who could source them for you and possibly fit them on the way down...this sounds like a job for....

It's possible to modify the RHD headlight to LHD.

You need to act on this lever :


And the beam will be modified from RHD beam


To flat beam (ok to drive in Europe).

It would be great if that works
I was just going on what others had said that they had to be swapped.

More than happy to help and my Porsche has been flat beam for 6 years now here in France and no problems whatsoever.

My mechanic was able to adjust the headlight internals to produce a level light projection

The adjustment mechanism was different to that shown in your photos - maybe they changed the design in the 2012 Sport models? He was surprised that an Italian car maker made it so easy to adjust
