The reason I say this, is that the previous owner of mine never told me when I bought the bike that it was a German import. Though the clocks had been changed and he had owned it for 7 years, it wasn't until I had my first local MOT that the testers told me the headlights were European ones They could have failed it, but in the end put tape on the lenses and passed the bike. Rather than buy second hand headlights at stupid prices on ebay, I sent mine to Haslam motorcycle technologies in Doncaster and they converted the lenses to UK spec for £70.00 inc postage. I still had to play around with the adjusters on the back of the units, but once this was sorted, no problems with MOT'S and flashing lights from disgruntled on coming drivers.It is not the lenses, it is the reflectors that are changed.
Get a broken set from a breaker with reflectors intact. Seperate the lens from the rear ( lens come off indivudally) and unscrew the old relectors and screw in the replacement, saves a a fortune.
