LHD or RHD headlight? I don’t know if it’s good for my country
Hello.
I often drive in Germany an E Coupe wirh the steering wheel on the left side, and I have a question:
in ILS system i should choose the side of the steering wheel or the side of the road wich i’m driving?
i have two options in ILS system: right hand drive or left hand drive.
Also I need to replace my headlights, is this from the photo below good for my country, it’s for the passenger side of the car?
And why it writes on it LHD and RHD?
thanks!

The light patterns are different when you are driving on the right/left side of the road, more like opposite. Therefore, it's important that the light pattern is adjusted accordingly. If you drive most of the time on the right side of the road, then you would want you lights adjusted that way.

Without regard to the side the steering wheel is on, if your driving on the right side of the highway, your headlights should be configured for right side driving.
