How can I identify if my 1998 Boxster head lights are LHD or RHD? The car originally is a LHD car imported to the UK. I do not know if the headlamps were changed or adjusted to work in the UK. I am shipping the car to France and before I have it MOT'd in France I need to check the headlamps so that I can avoid a failiure. Anybody know if their is a part no. or some way to idetify? You would not believe what a pain it is to sort things out in France!!!

Park the car on a straight road and turn on the lights. For a RHD car in UK it should light more of the pavement on the LHS of the car. For a LHD car intended to be driven on the other side of the road it would show more of the RHS of the car (all looking forward from inside the car).

Take a look at the pictures here: http://bbs.scoobynet.com/general-technical-10/871100-lhd-headlights.html

Thanks Simon the link is very useful.

Hi I was hoping that somebody may be able to point to some physical indentifier on the lamp unit or a part No. Where can I find numbers for Boxster assembles?
