Who wants brighter headlights?

I agree with properly adjusted headlights help with visibility. I'm lucky my friend who used to own my 67 Coronet, has a autoshop right down the road from my house. He has a system similar to this one in the Pic.

He never charges me small stuff like headlight adjustment on my classics. I usually bring them down to his shop on Friday at closing time with a twelve pack. But I also run my work trucks thru his shop for all repairs and general maintenance.

Awhile back I found out that countries with LEFT hand drive cars have headlights with a different light pattern than countries with RIGHT hand drive cars.

That is actually made with diff lenses side to side but not by aiming headlights. I guesss the diff aim procedure side to side could be made on the days headlights were “universal” for all cars being same pieces for both sides.

I mentioned earlier that the patterns of the low beams were like this:

It was alike a half round with a raised right side. I want to get actual pictures of the light patterns on the plywood but I may have to wait until Sunday to get actual pictures since I'm busy the next couple nights.

Yes, I just noticed that after quote LOL.

That pattern should be about correct for RHT(LHR) cars. But I’m not sure if YEARS AGO, the sealed beams were being sold with this different pattern depending on the diff side of the road meant to be driven locally. I can’t recall for example diff options for the traditional sealed beams being sold to diff side of the road drive, being these universal for both sides drive (I forgot to say on the quote: SIDE OF THE ROAD LOL)

I will search a bit if for example I want to keep my stock sealed beams lighting being driven in UK there is some diff PN or code for those being for LHT… or if they were really universal or side specific back in the days

When I aimed my halogen sealed beams last time maybe 15-18 years ago I can’t recall some kind of pattern related to this when lighting up against the wall, but a practically round shape.

Could be cool some UK owner opinion on this.
