Hello

I'm looking for a pair of LHD headlights for a LTI Taxi TX1.

Anyone know where I could get a cheap pair of used or good priced ones?

Thanks

If they are the round ones, remove the headlight, and then turn the holder half a turn and refit, then get them aligned, did the same for my old mini, same fittings

Hi Skippy

They aren't perfectly round, these look round but they can only be fitted one way because of the fixing lugs on the rear housing. I think that on older cars, the round headlights would fit into a casing and you could turn them etc. not with these ones unfortunately.

There should be a switch or a wire that you move to aim them to the right, on the back of the lights, failing that get them realigned, using the adjusters

Hiya.

These lenses have got a beam pattern on them, so I've stuck some beam benders on temporarily.

I think what you are referring to only applies on newer cars, my E class has a setting for LHD or RHD. Not on this old battle axe I don't think.
