LHD LED headlights OK for UK?

That's because there isn't one.

So was it removed for 6.1s?

I've seen some speculation that the lights adjust automatically based on GPS location for 6.1s, but I've found nothing conclusive.

Pretty sure they have a switch on the back, like mk5 golf xenons, to switch the reflectors left or right

I’m under the belief that the OEM T6.1’s don’t have the near side ‘up kick’ that the OEM T6 LEDs do, meaning they don’t need a travel-mode option because the absence of the up kick means LHD traffic won’t be blinded.

So I guess this means that T6.1 LEDs would not be ‘handed’ as such, but T6 LEDs are - at least for UK MOT requirements anyhow.
However, a T6.1 LED retrofit - whether facelift or OEM - doesn’t sound feasible due to them operating on a different platform.

@Ads_Essex I will check my lights when I get a chance and report back!
