Jota head light

[The Sock]

It's weird, Hamish - does the reflector reverse the beam direction? I would have thought the problem was shining too high up the right in a LH drive country like yours and ours? Your blackout tape looks like it would block light to the left side of the road, away from oncoming traffic. There's obviously a logical explication.

The light reflected through the section (blacked out and circled, in the photo below) lights up and to the right, Quentin. Dazzling oncoming drivers, in the UK.

The lens below, lights up the left hand side of the road (correct for the UK).

Does it dress to the left or right?

Now your're being silly.
Its for Aust roads/RHD.

If original is important then look were pf1 suggested.

I replaced my original with the one below. Currently AUD $115. supplied by a company in sth aust.
I don't know were he sources them from. China??
The defuser had come lose / busted, the cost of replacement was over the top back then.
Replaced the head light on my Duc with a similar product.
In both cases the originals will go with the bikes when it is time.
This works well takes a H4 globe.
The average punter wouldn't know the difference.
