R4 F6 Headlights

[Ken Walsh]

Hi All,
I am about to get my 1985 R4 F6 registered in Ireland having brought it back from Spain. I am concerned that I may have to change the Headlights as part of the process.
Can anyone advise me where I can purchase correct replacement Headlight for driving in the UK & Ireland?
I have been told that the light on the 4L and F6 different.

Thanks in advance

Ken

Ken
There's some excellent information on how to convert LHD headlights to RHD in the 'Tech tips' at the top of this page.

Thanks Andy, is the addition of a side light compulsory. If so, what is its purpose and what do you wire it to?

Only the early cars had the sidelight bulb inside the headlight. I imagine your F6 has the sidelight/indicator units at the bottom of the bonnet.

Yes they do, thank you
