  • I am so close to completely rebuilding my Mclaren 720s but i find myself doing more repairs to it after i let the former stig to the first shakedown of the car and unfortunately he put it in the gravel trap, causing more damage that i originally thought.

    Matt my lights on my leon some times stop working (led) usually its due to moisture getting in. You might of been able to take them off and strip them down and just hold a hair drier to them. Mine always work again after doing that and I usually end up needing to do it once during the winter months.

    I think the headlights legally have to be able to be adjusted. Mclaren wouldnt make 2 different type of lights for LHD and RHD considering both need to be able to be adjusted. The 2 different ones would just be the same light with a different factory adjustment. Unsure in UK but in many countries the ability for that asdjustment is mandatory. I would look more into it before commiting to new headlights.

    • @pbe6965
      @pbe6965 2 місяці тому

      Nissan does 2 different sets of headlight for LHD/RHD, unless the law changed in the meantime (my car goes on its 25 years old now so maybe it's not the case anymore).
      In my headlights, there is an aluminium cover/mask just in front of the lamp that gives its shape to the beam, I modified some for a friend but we had to heat the whole headlight in an over to melt the butyl and open it in order to access its inside, it's not meant to be replaced and I don't think Nissan even sells this part.
