I live in France,and have just bought a UK spec Marea weekend(2001).Does anyone know if the headlights can be adjusted or bulbs and bits change to conform to continent spec without having to change the whole light.Thanks.Paulg

Technical Marea Headlights
Yes you can buy headlamp adjusters but an easier way would be to buy LHD lights. Won't cost too much. Main question is why buy a UK spec for use abroad?
I think this has come up before. Due to the high amount of modified Bravos and Bravas. Polys on the continent go for a hell of a lot more then uk polys do.
The reason for buying a ukspec car is price.What I have just paid £1500 for would be about£4-5000 here in france (for lhd!).Headlights ,and indeed all car parts are very pricey too,hence the original question.So...how then are they adjusted(without using stick on deflectors)?It almost looks as if the bulb can be turned!!??.

Its impossible to convert them to LHD, the angle and direction is built and molded into the headlight.
Oh..
Never had a Marea without PolysEven my ELX had them.
I'm gonna stop posting when I'm on the phone!
Yup you must have scrap yards in France. Go down and get some and keep your RHD ones for when you come to the UK.
if you have RHD poly headlights on your marea, sell them on ebayUK or even on fiatforum, they usually get a good price (£50-100).
that should pay for a set of LHD headlights in a french scrapyard.

This is partially true... unless you have polyeliptical lights (see pic). I've described the process on this forum some time ago.
