H1 question
Apart from the lenses, are there any differences between RHD and LHD H1 headlights?
Thanks.
Thanks.

It might be me ...
I can't answer with complete certainty though - in spite of the fact that I've had many sets (including NOS) of both LHD & RHD H1's, I've never compared the internals that closely.
However, I have a feeling that there are differences - apart from the lenses - for example I think the lower reflector shape is a 'mirror image'.

These are off an AFN imported UK RHD car. Can't be 100% certain they have never been replaced not knowing the car from new but not aware they have ever been changed and the lenses (BOSCH) are RHD. You can see the reflector is the same as your LHD picture.

I just got a copy of latest US Excellence mag (May issue) and on page 86 there's a piccy of a LHD car with H1's (I don't have a scanner, sorry), which shows the reflectors very, very clearly. The 'cut' on the right side of the reflector as you look at it, is for lining up with the triangle (the sloping bit) on the lens. It lines up perfectly. So, it is very strange that there were no handed reflectors for RHD. Maybe Porsche/Bosch thought there weren't enough RHD cars to bother.
