Hi everyone. Just bought my first RCZ from Holland and looking forward to driving it back to Blighty next week. It's a LHD, so of course will have have the headlights set up for driving on the right hand side of the road. Could anybody tell me if there is a "switch or option" to change the lights from right to left orientation when I arrive in Folkestone, or will I have to just blind everyone for a few months!!!!
I will be taking the car back to Europe permanently in a few months so will have to switch back at that point so not looking for a permanent solution.
Loving the forum...

Also, has anyone changed the big bonnet Peugeot badge/logo with a RCZ badge/logo. Not that I'm offended by the Peugeot marke - I just think an RCZ bonnet badge would add to the beautiful styling of the car. Any links to RCZ accessories specialist would be most welcome.

Well I think you might be better off putting them definition stickers on the lights quick fix and can take them off again when you go back to Europe....
As for the lion on the front of the car these can be removed easily on the MK2 as just stuck on... If you have got yourself a mk1 then they are fixed into place with two location fixings but can be removed....
Hope this helps you out
Drive safe and stay lucky 🍀

Thank you for your kind and practical advice Verminator, It will make the car look as if it has NHS prescription specs on but hay ho... needs must. I think I have bought the Mk1. It's a 2010, 200hp petrol, auto. Haven't seen the car in real life yet... purchased it on-line with fairly limited details. I know, I know, but I needed an left hooker and there aren't any in the UK for sale that I could find. So fingers crossed that it will be there when I turn up and has more than 3 wheels not including the one for steering it. What could possibly go wrong! (lip biting!!!)

Crikey your risking it! Not actually seeing the car and with it being a Euro car I’m tipping it wasn’t cheap? Personally for the short time it’s over here I would just blag the lights and exactly how much night driving are you intending to do over here?
Regards personalisation of the front badge I’ve seen loads of different ideas and quite a common one lately is the new style Peugeot shield but in my opinion it was designed with the lion and anything else looks tacky but then again I'm sure some will say my yellow headlights and go faster stripes are tacky too 😆 so beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say 😊

You could try deflectors on the headlights but it easier to get them realigned at a MOT station as you could be fined if your nabbed by the boys in blue & I believe its part of a valid MOT certificate to have your lights set to the correct height & the line of the beams on UK roads ?
BexyBex was selling the newest Peugeot logo badges on here for front & rear so maybe send her a message
