Does anyone know where to get hold of LHD headlamps for an '87 GTA ?

I just presented my RHD for approval in Norway today and the tester was on the ball ! Hoped I'd get away with it, but no.........
I need to change either the lamps, or the reflectors for driving on the right.

Are the light units tailor fitted to the GTA, or are they interchangeable with any other models ?

Are the reflectors not just tape?
We used to have to fit them to our car when we crossed the channel.
They don't seem so hot on it nowadays.

Also there is a lot of adjustment up down left right, not enough?

I take it there is no way of swapping sides I mean inverting as they are just rectangle and altering the adjustment screws to fit? Just a thought you would need one in your hand to see if possible.

Nah, I already thought of that, they say the stickers are ok for tourists, but not permanent import.

It's to do with the "kick" in the beam pattern, on RHD it goes left, and on LHD it goes right, so I have to change either the complete light, or reflector.
