They (the lamp holders in the assemblies) do 'swing' with adjustments, I have never tried to 'realign' them for driving on the opposite side of the road. So, those who have a parts listing, are the RHD/LHD assemblies different in part numbers, and if so, can they be 're-aimed' if moved/registered in a country opposite its design? Now I understand why many military folks deployed chose to just buy a clunker when overseas for a year.

The headlight assemblies ARE different for LHD & RHD cars, see attached.
