Angry Problem with Halo Projector Headlights

I have just purchased and installed a set of Halo - Projector Headlights for my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I bought these via ebay and they were sent to my address in the UK from a supplier in Chicago, USA. Unfortuneately the lens for the dipped beam on each of the lights are set for vehicles travelling on the right rather than for UK traffic which travels on the left.

Can anyone advise as to how I can overcome this problem. The supplier has not responded to my email query and the car will fail it's MOT unless I can get it sorted.

Ron

Re: Problem with Halo Projector Headlights

Some sellers are just slow and some are just bad - that's the chance you take on ebay. Did you check the sellers reputation?
If you haven't already done so, send a follow up email.

What does "dipped beam" mean, is the headlight beam not aligned properly?
You should be able to adjust the lens/beam with a screw.

Re: Problem with Halo Projector Headlights

Why did you buy US spec lights if you're in the UK? Im not sure that there is much you can do. Possibly try to alter the beam in some way, but that would be difficult.

Re: Problem with Halo Projector Headlights

Thanks for the responses. It's good to know that there are folk out there that can be a help.

I didn't realise there would be a problem as the ebay member quoted the price for the lights in pounds sterling and not in $.

Is there any chance that a supplier would be able to supply reflectors that would be set for the UK ?

Re: Problem with Halo Projector Headlights

The Jeep was registered in late 1999 and is a 2000 model.

I have been able to contact the supplier and his query/suggestion was related to "Had I tried the adjustment screw". I told him that the mechanic that installed the lights had used "The adjustment screw" to lower the beam of both lights so that I would not dazzle oncoming traffic.

I also asked him if there was anything on the lens/reflector that could switch the dipped beam from right to left.

Still waiting on a reply.
