Right Hand Drive to Left Hand Drive

I am moving from the UK to Germany and wondering if I can code my adaptive xenon headlights to switch over or do I have to put in LHD headlights?

You can manually adjust them, like regular headlights.

They should. Why would BMW make 8 headlights when they can make 4 for euro/NA spec markets. All euro headlights have the same part numbers as far as I know.

There are a few companies who make the headlights separate. I have the original American headlights as well as the euro-spec that the previous owner bought. I wasn't sure why she would spend so much money to switch them, she certainly wasn't someone excited about clear corners.

Found my answer. They are different in terms of beam pattern.
The USA headlight project a line like this: ___
The EURO headlight (RHD) project a line like this: __/
The EURO headlight (LHD) project a line like this: \__
I have LHD euro lights, going to Germany I will blind everyone since Euro-spec cuts up to illuminate the signs. If I just had American lights then it wouldn't matter.
