Another vote for photos.
I posted about those sometime back when I needed a new headlight but couldn't find a retailer with stock.

Interested too see them on a car!
 
Are you sure they said right hand drive and not right side drive?

Right hand drive is correct, however right side drive means cars that drive on the right hand side of the road (meaning left hand drive).

Saab dealer made this mistake in supplying lights when husband bought replacements a few years ago.
 
According to their website the ones I found for 2003+ Pandas were LHD only - in either chrome or black surround.

I'd already found that one, from the OP pic.
A few clues:
It is a German website, so would be LHD unless stated otherwise. They do not give a choice.
Some "fisheye" dipped beams can be turned in their housings to change from Left to Right dip, but this would be noted if they were wishing, or willing to sell to UK.
 
Hi guys i got them off a company called 4 ring spares but was ther last pair, they are defo rhd I have been 100% assured as i mentioned they r very rare or no existent in rhd th but was told it was something u could at one point request from depo as special order but non retunable and I can even see that the projectors are slightly aimed to the left as i checked when they arrived.

It's got nothing to do with where the projectors appear to point, it's the beam pattern than the kick it produces which defines the difference between LHD or RHD lenses.

But projectors as with xenons are directional, so it has everything to do with that.

Take the xenons I had on my c4 VTS, as the steering wheel turned, the projector within the light cluster physically moved therefore throwing the light left or right.

With respect mate, that's a whole other thing.

The difference between LHD and RHD headlights is not a matter of alignment, it's a matter of beam 'shape, created by the optics.

RHD dipped beam shape: \___, if you drive in the UK, on the left hand side of the road, the verge is on your left.

LHD dipped beam shape: ___/, in you drive in mainland Europe (eg) then the verge is on your right.


It's all to do with lighting up the side/edge of the road.
