Quick reply needed.. Bugeye STI headlight question.. Please read
 

Did i read somewhere that on the bugeye STI headlamps there was a switch on the back that altered the beam pattern for driving in Europe?:wonder:

If so could someone explain where and how.:confused:

Or am i talking arse and this was a dream?:freak3:


Cheers

Wake up! Wake up!

okay okay so i dreamt it then?

I have the same headlights and have had them out a few times, if there was a switch I'd be overjoyed as I drive on the other side quite often.

So i guess i just have to buy some deflectors then? where do i put em on a projection lamp then?

You can adjust them with a screw driver or just screw other drivers.

Frayz,

Are you planning on going to Europe ??? ;) :D :D

You can change the prodrive sti ones over. I found a thread of how to do it on the NASIOC site but havent tried doing mine yet. Mine were unfortunately left hand drive for some reason when I bought my car...so I need to get my changed over sharpish....

heres the link I was looking for, this deals with the conversion of sti prodrive lights....not sure if standard sti ones have the same fittings...

Can't be done I'm afraid Frayz, unless you want to permanently covert them. This would mean an oven job and some filing of the metal light deflector. It sits behind the projector itself.

I had to buy LH drive Morettes to get mine roadworthy for out here.

You could just adjust them so as not to blind oncoming drivers, but.....



Fek it your a tourist ;)

Your car didn't once belong to a squaddie based in Germany did it.

Here's hoping my old bugeye WRX (RIP) hasnt re emerged on the streets in UK.

I dont think so mate...I know the previous owner of the car.........but before that who knows????
