Has anyone heard of this?

Reading through S2 forums and it seems that the ellipsoid headlights fitted to UK cars have a lever to change them from RHD settings to LHD.

Anyone know if they are fitted to RS2's as well and more important for me if LHD cars have such a lever?

My left hooker was imported, and one of the jobs which needed doing for the car to comply with U.K. road laws was to kick the light beam into nearside kurb.
Yes rs2 has the lever to alter beam.

Thanks for the prompt reply, next question- where is it! I found a twirly white dial type of thing at the top left, top right of the respective headlights but where is the lever?

Getting access to the back of the lights is not easy particularly on the drivers side (rhd). It is easier to undo the screws two at the top and two underneath to free off the headlight. The is a nack to tilting the headlight to get it out clear of the front bumper skin - I can never remember which way to do it so always end up fiddling about for a bit. The lever is pretty easy to see once you get to the back of the light unit.
