If they're like mine, I was able to turn the beam units so that the kick-up is at the opposite side. My helpful mechanic was so impressed, he let me use his beam alignment tester thingy for nowt...!
And it saved me £50 + an MOT retest.

not great pics i know, cars not at my house so carnt get any better for now, thanks
Hmm... They look really similar, but the grub screw is on the bottom of my lamps. The helpful bloke I spoke to (who I found out supplied them to the
original owner) told me this only works with certain lamps. Mine have black plastic housings and a flat circle on the back. Sound familiar?
If so, look at the front of the lens for 2 triangles on the very edge of the glass. Mine had one of the triangles at the 12 o'clock position; I
removed the front of the lamps, disconnected the head & side light connectors, pushed the glass out of the front bezel, turned the glass
anti-clockwise by about 20-30 degs, and popped it back into the bezel again.
Things to watch out for?
- Make sure there are no cutouts on the outside of the glass / inside of the bezel to stop you from turning them.
- Make sure that there are no lugs on the inside of the housings that will foul the sidelights.
- Make sure your wiring has enough slack to allow for the now-moved sidelight.
I'll get you some pics.

Are yours like this?
MK Headlamp
These closeups sort of show the marks on the bezel & glass, set correctly for RHD. Apols for the quality - I couldn't push the MK out
'cos of the rain.:
MK Headlamp - Poor closeup :(
no there not the same as that, ill have another look next time i go over to work on the car, but one has a chip in it so it looks like ill need at least one ew light so i mights as well buy a pair i think
Sorry to hijack this thread but I have the same headlights as shown in your picture mediabloke.
Did you pass SVA with this configuration?
ie. Will the SVA tester accept LHD lenses rotated for RHD?
Sorry bud - didn't get the alert for your post... 
I'm not much help, TBH. The Indy was built, SVA'ed and MOT'ed when I bought it. Albeit with LHD headlamps - go figure! :scratches
head:
It was a comfortable MOT pass after adjustment, though. The shape & size of the patterns were almost identical, albeit mirrored.
When's your SVA booked for? If it's after the end of Feb., I can easily ask the tester when mine goes for its MOT. Get him talking about
rallycross / racing, and he'll chat for hours...
HTH - Francis.
when do you need them?
i will have some in the next 6weeks, hardly used and in perfect condition (RHD)
