Are these LHD headlights??

10 yrs ago I and my truck lived in Switzerland, with LHD lights.

Off to France next week and at the back of the garage are Wipac with codes:
E11/20, HCR, 20R/14, W15, series 286

I have no idea if these are old RHD I replaced or old LHD I used and I can't find the answer on their website.

??

Ta Sold the much modified 110 2.8, in Oz
Brought the 90 home from Switzerland ...

There should be a little arrow mark on the lens pointing in the direction of the dip beam (ie looking at the lens an arrow to the right indicates RHD/left dipping and an arrow the right indicates LHD/right dipping). There is nothing in the code numbers you have listed which determines if it is left or right dipping.

Normal 7" Wipacs? As you look at the lenses from the front, if the trapezoidal-shaped segment (i.e. the segment you'd tape over so as not to dazzle oncoming traffic) is on the left, they're LH dip, i.e. for UK vehicles driving on the left.

If these segments are to the right, the lenses dip to the right, i.e. they're for continental vehicles.

Just out of interest, would it be legal to fit LHD lights to a UK registered car?

Yes, if driving in a LHD country. It would not be legal to have them fitted in a RHD country.
