RHD to LHD headlights

I am registering my 2012 cabrio in Spain and need to adjust the headlights . I have been told can be adjusted but it will cost a lot of money . Is there a simple way to do this ?

The question is how do the authorities determine which headlights you have. Do they look up a part number or measure the projection beam?

E marked headlamps indicate wether they’re for right hand or left hand traffic in the certification markings on the headlamp.

alao if you put a beamsetter on the car, or even just pointed the lights at a wall you'd see the cutoff.

and there also just the fact of the car being right hand drive
