RHD Euro Headlights?
I bought a pair of RHD Euro headlights for my W123. I just realized that the lens is different. Can I just buy the correct (LHD) lenses and replace them?
Thanks -Holson-

I believe what you propose is a piece of cake; call Paul @ PUMA 800.354.3552. Paul will know, and likely stocks the lenses you need

RHD requires positioning the bulb differently
than LHD so the up angle of the cutoff is to the left rather than the right -- some reflectors have notches so the bulb can be installed either way, but most do not. It is just as much a reflector problem as a lens problem though, because of this bulb mounting difference. Marchal used to make regular round 7" lights which worked either way, for people who spent a lot of time on both sides of the English Channel (or in Sweden, until 1967), but that was a long time ago.
