What do you mean by RHD lenses? I haven't heard this term before.

The lenses on LHD cars point the lights to the on-coming traffic here in Aus

The fluting in the glass angles the light towards either the left or right side of the road. My car is from the US so it angles to the right. This
means I need the lenses (glass) that will angle the light to the left side of the road. It is actually an registration requirement.

RHD lenses
its actuaaly called the dip of a headlight
lHD ones point to the kerb overhere get it
they only work going round corners LOL
what you want are early 7" complete head lights
that you can insert halogens
auto shops sell tham arround $150ea here in adel
or the cheap way is standard replacement 7" sealed
beams fit arround $20 any auto store
got it good
get to the wreckers theres not to many left

Is your Ghia a nice original example and is it an Australian delivery one still with the original Euro headlight assemblies? The sealed beam units
won't work otherwise or unless it has those ugly US sealed beam import units. The original ones should have a Hella logo on top, it's also wider
and has the correct curvature on the lens.
