Thanks to everyone who answered my last question regarding restoring my wheels
I now have another question.
I am importing my 924 n/a from the UK to France and will need to change the headlights settings. Is it possible to use the UK head lights and adjust them or should I start looking for new highlights? I bought a new set of Range Rover headlights for my other car only to find later it was possible to adjust the originals. That was me £400 out of pocket!
If adjustment is possible does anyone know how to do it?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me

Its not possible and probably authorities wont let you register it without proper lights. You need LHD lights, they are not expensive at all, try to buy used ones from any 924 being parted, they are bolt on and you wont have any problems fitting them compared to buying aftermarket.

Search eBay.fr , eBay.de and eBay.it for used headlamps. Sell the current ones on eBay.co.uk or keep them for return to uk spec. The glass is different and you will have to swap to register it in France.

I fitted vw golf 1 headlights, dirt cheap. Used the old frame though.
