If it is for permanent export you will need to replace the complete headlight unit. These are available at either the main dealers (expensive), a car accessory shop (do they exist in Spain?) and scrap yard (cheapest option). I found the best way (not in Spain but in Germany) was to advertise for someone that had brought a RHD car with the view to taking it back to the UK and arrange a headlamp swap.

Stickers are definitely not acceptable if importing the car - it will fail it's MoT (ITV) on this. _______________________ "For I am a bear of very little brain, and long words bother me" Winnie the Pooh Spam post?

I will probably use stickers for the trip as I'm gonna try and sell the car when over there to someone who wants to drive back. Spam post? If so please click here to report it

Will stop you blinding on coming traffic - that's assuming they're looking where they're going in the first place, which too often they're not. Safe riding! _______________________ "For I am a bear of very little brain, and long words bother me" Winnie the Pooh Spam post? If so please click here to report it
