Has anyone got a picture of how they look fitted on a car?

If it is just the silvered bit that is black, then you could convert them yourself, as long as the main beam and indicator reflectors are masked it should be fine.

Don't know how hot it all gets in there so it might be good to use high temp paint.

Don't know if they'd look any good on my Lagoon Blue Omega, but a Black or Silver one would be grand.

I was wondering if the internal levers could be flipped to RHD setup, I am tempted when I'm abit more flush to do some investigations

IIRC, when you move  the lever it just cuts-off the raised part of the beam that normally lights up the verge, the beam still points slightly left but not enough to blind a Frenchie. A LHD lamp with the lever set for RHD would (at best) have a flat beam without the extra light on the verge but would also shine light to the right of the car centre line.

I thought the lever and the adjuster were what did all the directional stuff hence me thinking  it could possibly done but having read what you have said matchless it makes sense so I dont think I will go there.

Just a thought really  ::) :-/
