Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

I found a source for new inner lenses and changed it in the hopes it would change the beam pattern sufficiently to meet ECE specs.

I know for a fact the USA and ROW reflectors are the same (same part number) hence I need to change the shader/bllinder tube to complete the conversion.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

If you have an old/damaged reflector lying about, coutd you check to see if the shader/blinder surrounding the dipped beam/upper bulb is removable? I'm struggling to convert my headlights from USA spec to EU spec as they did not pass inspection. I found a source for new inner lenses and changed it in the hopes it would change the beam pattern sufficiently to meet ECE specs. It made the lights much brighter but the pattern is sill off. I know for a fact the USA and ROW reflectors are the same (same part number) hence I need to change the shader/bllinder tube to complete the conversion. The price for second hand lights is ridiculous over here. I,m hoping to find a way to cut costs. For future reference: The only difference I have found in the halogen headlights from EU (probably ROW) and the US are: 1. Different shader/blinder/shroud around dipped beam bulb. 2. Different internal lens. (EU lens is available as an aftermarket part). 3. The USA version sometimes has an adjustment indicator blade poking through the inner lens. This has been removed on later lamps and can simply be removed when fitting the EU lens. It serves no purpose other than making adjustments a bit quicker.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
