I would imagine it is due to the beam pattern, over here lights have a kick on the n/s, whereas on the continent this would dazzle oncoming traffic so is on the other side or not at all

Good simple way of illustrating it there dude, never thought of that.

as above
UK shines left (you drive on the left) EU shines right (they drive on the right)

 

[mikey_b]

ok wicked thank for that helps alot

 

[Nutkin]

even simpler.

EU= Illegal and hazzard

 

[mjt]

well to be fair the UK ones can also be illegal and a hazard if badly set up

 

[Markyboyt]

And eu ones would be fine if they have an adjuster to take the kick off the beam

I know FK ones comes with a switch so they can be either UK or EU.

And whether they are EU or UK, they are cr*p and the light output is utter garbage compared to the standard headlamps.
