w202 LHD headlights convert to RHD

hi there,

I'm sure this has come up before but I'm requesting some specific help.

I live in New Zealand, unfortunately :p and we require right hand drive (RHD) headlights. majority of sellers sell LHD. so I'm looking for help, is it possible to convert these from LHD to RHD? is it the housing that is required to be changed? if so then it's no possible correct? or is it something to do with a switch on them to LHD or RHD?

I'm looking for these on ebay.com:

what are your thoughts?

thanks

I would assume that swapping the housing would do it since the bulbs are the same-

However there are adjustments on these lights- I'm not sure if it's *just* an alignment issue.

I'd be scouring HK and England for housings if it comes down to that....

have you held these before? the asian sellers on ebay all say the are LHD ones only. their english is poor so they can't/don't think to even ask their suppliers if it can be adjusted or do they make RHD ones.

nothing really on the hongkong ebay

can the housing be pulled out and replaced? if they were projectors I could just replace the projectors with RHD ones...

thanks
