    Hi All,

    Need some pointers I’d anyone can help....... I’m shipping my 2009 F430 back to the UK from Dubai and as part of the process, need to make some small modifications to be U.K. compliant.

    However, I’ve been asked to convert the Headlights to RHD and my local dealer and a Specialist are not aware how to get this done. The shipping company has confirmed they can do this on arrival into the U.K., but I really do not want some random shop tinkering around with my car without me present.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is it complex? Parts? Etc etc

    Any advise would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks!!

    Pretty sure about ten years ago when lots of EU cars came into the UK there were many threads here and all over the internet

    One shortcut might be to ask Voicey/Ed at AV Engineering

    You looked in the owners manual?

    If they aren't different part numbers, you can tell on most of the parts companies sites, then it is just a process of changing the headlight aim and most anyone should be able to do that.

    On my old 360, the owners manual explained the process- you removed a flap in front of the each front wheel, then twisted a knob at the back of the headlight to switch from left to right hand drive.

    Exactly BUT beware, those knobs get brittle and break. Then you are pulling the entire assembly and trying to work it out from there because they don't sell the part. There is a thread here somewhere about a broken knob.

    LHD and RHD are different headlights.
