Projector lights orientation

Hi all, I have a question re projector lights. I'm busy cleaning up the lights on the tds and have found that the projectors don't match positions, one is on the line marked L/G, the other on R/D, which is correct? I presume it relates to the light pattern for left and right drive, or is it something else.:fencelook:

Best would be to have a look at the cut-off plate on the inside of the projector,
(projector from an e34)

The cut-off plate is the bit of metal just behind the projector (in the pic it is the bit of metal between the two mounting plates)

You should either be able to see it looking in the side if it is an open type projector, or if it is a closed type you can look in where the bulb goes.

The cut-off plate should always be higher on the passenger side of the car when mounted onto the car. This applies for both projectors.

On this set, the cut off is almost horizontal in the L position, tilted up to the drivers side in R, so will set both to L and hope for no angry oncoming traffic! Many thanks:thumbs:
