    Hello!

    I will be buying a RHD R33 shortly, bringing it to my country where we drive on the left.
    I will not be swapping the steering for LHD, but I do have to make it technically compliant. First and foremost LIGHTS.

    What lights to use to make it LHD legal?

    Edit: asking if there is a straight swap or an easy way to do it instead of cutting and soldering projectors

    Just do what every UK person does when driving abroad, use a bit of tape!

    Not about driving it (there are stickers for that), it is about registering it here, passing the technical examination. For that I need the conversion done.

    Got the message from the dutch company doing the conversions. 89€ for the pair to convert it to straight beams. Now asking them about options to convert it to actual left hand drive and what the difficulty is.

    Was there ever a LHD skyline? Think that's the issue here
