Euro Headlight Lens

A friend says I have RHD headlight lenses, they rise to right side of road, which I think is correct for LHD.  Here are two pics he says show LHD lights, I think he is wrong.  What say the experts?

Hmm, the bottom shot is my car, and shows the lenses I got from Germany. I always assumed them to be LHD. They point the lights a bit to the left of center ahead of the car.

Chris you have the correct lenses. Why would you want to blind oncoming drivers? Also, anyone who has adjusted headlights in the US knows you always aim then slightly to the right side.

You are good to go my friend !

Excellent point. Just adjusted the aim - although I don't drive the car very often at night.

What Rey said and as far as I know there weren't rectangle headlights for RHD NK cars. They had "Euro" RHD four headlight setups like an E3 or E9 would. I'd ask Paul Hill to be sure though.

Asked a friend in the UK, he says there were indeed RHD rectangle headlights, but also RHD four headlight set ups. Hans, you are correct sir.
