Headlight variations was created by Idris

(2002 Jimny hardtop, UK market, made in Japan) I am converting a RHD jiminy to LHD headlights for France. I stupidly assumed there would be just one pair of light for RHD and one for LHD. Turns out there are loads of different headlight variations.

Anyone know of a listing of headlight part numbers so I can get a mached pair - most scrapyards have a left or a right not a pair - if they have a pair they are some strange chrome trimed montrosity.

Thanks Tom

I thought they were all the same or at least all replacable from 1999 thru 2017.
Chrome trimmings must be some aftermarket bling someone atttached.

Yes the bling is stick on aftermarket. double sided foam tape which can be removed.
The only difference I am aware of is level adjusting motors or not? Not sure if they all had them or it was trim level specific.

I did exactly what you are doing, 10 years ago. My car is a 2007 but I bought some 2nd hand head lights in France and put them in. Don’t know what year car they were from but I think an earlier model. The only problem was that the headlight adjusters worked exactly the opposite so down was up and vice versa. Eventually the motors stopped working so left them in that position and it has passed it’s Controle Technique each year without problem.
