Hi Lux Surf 3.0 Headlamps Portugal

[fish4chipz]

Is there anyone out there who can help me with my problem!!!!!

I have a great Hi Lux Surf 3.0td 1996 that is right hand drive...

I recently exported the car to Portugal.

I have to change the headlamps from uk to european and Toyota have told me that this is not possible as they only make them for RHD cars...

Surely I am not the first Surf owner who has exported their car.

Basically I am :censor: unless someone knows a way round it????

Please email me if you can help Fish4chipz@hotmail.com

Do you mean your car is LHD?

If it was THEN I could see a problem, but being as your car is RHD and they only do it for RHD cars then you should be ok right?

No the car is rhd but I have taken the car to Portugal where I have to change my headlamps to point the other way(lhd) Toyota only make headlamps for HiLux Surfs to cover japan/australia/uk where the beams point the other way...

Drivin me potty.......

Just have a look on eBay for some 4-Runner headlights from the USA, make sure that they are for the correct year and shape.

Thanks Mate ....guess thats all I can do eh...

If they make the lights for a forerunner then surely I can but them from Toyota ...

I mean they either the right lights or their not and they must come from Toyota or am I missing something here?

thanks for the reply .Apreciate it.

Gary I dont know much about Surfs but is it possible the portuguese lic authorities meant that you have to adjust them to LHD rather than replace parts?

If that doesnt work then is it possible to swap some parts L to R?

Toyota will never help you with parts for a vehicle they didnt sell in that country.

Seems dumb but thats the way they are all over the world.

I understand there are exceptions to that.
