    I got quoted around 10k-15k pounds to change my headlights from middle east to UK spec does that sound normal (apparently i have to buy a whole new set)?

    I was also told some specialised importing companies can change the existing ones to conform to UK regulations, would that create any warranty issues?

    My guess is the direction they point. Remember UK drives on the left side of the road.

    Buy some electrical tape and do the old school thing of blacking out the portions that point into oncoming traffic. Okay, maybe not. lol.

    Seriously though, the pricing doesn't shock me. They are sealed units with all kinds of specialized features (esp. if you have the AFS)...you're not just putting in a new bulb.

    It's the price for being in UK .... stock the ones that came out for (maybe) future sale ...
