Hello, I wanted to be confirmed by everybody here.
Are GS lights with straight field of vision ? or are they side orientated, by LHD or RHD...
I want to know are LHD and RHD front lights the same?
Can I use RHD GS lights on my LHD GS with left side traffic.
I`m asking because, my GS need new front right light, and selection in Estonian and in neighboring countries is not good, and lot of cars are form UK what are sold for parts here.

They are side oriented. So RHD has a light pattern that focus on the left side of the road and vice versa.
Just retrofit your headlights so you don't have to worry about it. Usually the shields in projectors that makes the light pattern are meant for left hand traffic.

I have been running RHD lights in my LHD car for close to five years now and I have not really noticed a significant enough (if any) difference. No one has ever flashed me complaining that my lights are blinding them. Admittedly when I installed them I did try and adjust the beam pattern using the adjuster screws so that I have a fairly accurate projection. I simply drove into an underground garage and parked a few meters away from a wall and then adjusted the screws for alignment. Even when I have followed behind people I know they have not noticed my lights projecting a pattern any different than any other car.
Of course my observations are subjective but it is my experience. Before you go to the trouble of swapping out the projectors you could try the RHD lights by adjusting them and see how it works out for you.

I drove car from UK here to Estonia, its ~2500km and allsoo did not see much difference in LHD traffic, so maybe that would be the most easiest way to use them as they are, just adjust as much as possible. In general I will use that car only in summer time, so it will not see much dark times
