MOT failure

Had a Puma fail the MOT today. Seems it is fitted with a LHD headlight on the passenger side so the offset is wrong. Must have been an off day on the assembly line

Everything else was fine. A retest beckons after the light is changed for the correct RHD one.
Incidentally the handbook lists the bulbs as H7, is this correct? 1982 88" 2.25 diesel
1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali
2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu
2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai

If you want to check if your headlights are LHD or RHD have a look at the markings on the front lens.

Can be slight awkward to see

. → Low beam is suitable only for use in Left Hand Traffic (e.g., Britain, Australia, Africa, Japan)

. [NO ARROW] Low beam is suitable only for use in Right Hand Traffic (US, Canada, Continental Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, etc.)

↔ Low beam is adaptable for use on either side of the road (many projector lamps and older reflector high/low lamps)

The traffic-handedness marking applies only to low-beam headlamps
