It is a RHD headlamp. The seller has replied to my question. And as several other sellers who don´t better said that it could be altered to LHD. So this is no go. Thanks for the codes for the LHD headlamps.

XBC002510
This corresponds to a RHD left headlamp

LHD codes are
XBC002520
XBC002530

I could perhaps do it, but I use the car everyday so it would be out of use for several days and what if I :bang: did not succeed.

It is the same in Denmark. But it went through MoT this time with a warning to fix it. So that is what I am trying to do. But to pay more than 600 pounds :woowoo: for a pair must be the last solution

You would be very lucky to find used LHD units in the UK for obvious reasons. The cheapest new units I've been able to find are £269 each (including tax). This dealer has both left & right light units:

Or buy a used RHD version to play around with it, they're far cheaper than the LHDs.
