Low Beam Dips Left?
I have a Japanese spec car -- when I set headlights (H4s) to low beam, the lights dip left, as you would expect when you drive on the left. I want low beams that dip right, of course as the car is now being driven in Canada.
I have been given two opposing opinions as to how to resolve. One point of view is that I need new lenses ($33 new from Pelican...not bad really), while the other point of view is that all I need to do is re-aim the lights. Anybody out there have a definitive answer in this regard??

tcgannon--Down under,we drive on the left side of the road,so I had the very same problem as you,only the other way.
Here's a couple of pics of the Bosche H4 lens. The LHD[yours] is p/n 1305614005, The RHD[mine ] is p/n 1305614006. I believe the Brits have to put a blank on the lens, something like the last pic,when they cross the channel to Europe. Perhaps Andy,or someone familiar with the EU law ,might chime in and tell us the actual regulation. I have two new LHD lenses,and can swap with you ,but the shipping might me excessive.--up to you.

Family and I were on Vacation in Spain last summer and we were driving back from dinner at night and I could not handle the low beams as they seemed to pull down and to the right so much it felt like driving without them. It was a brand new Peugot Diesel which was way underpowered but roomy and cheap! I even told them when we took it back that the lights were out of adjustment. They just nodded and I'm sure had a good laugh.
Fun Trip Nerja Spain for 2 weeks!
