E4 Marked Lamp: Dutch Approval or English Right-Hand Traffic Compatibility?

Question

I have a question whether this lamp is for right or left-hand traffic - the E4 marking suggests Dutch approval, while from what I found on the web, the right arrow is a lamp for an Englishman?

dizba · Accepted Answer

Right arrow = left-hand traffic.

sanfran · Answer

It is possible that from english. can you post pictures of the entire lamp from the front?

dizba · Answer

Here you have everything explained

sander · Answer

There is nothing about a right arrow at all on this page, and the reverse is true of the other pages. Removal of the entire lamp

sanfran · Answer

To my eye, this is a left-hand traffic lamp.
But I can be wrong.
The halogen lamp has three lugs, the one on top is perfectly vertical for right-hand traffic. In a left-hand drive lamp, the bulb is slightly twisted to the right - clockwise when viewed from the bulb mounting side.

As a last resort, you can always insert the H4 bulb, connect the cable and see if it shines higher to the left (English) or to the right (continent).

sander · Answer

Then why is the E4 marking in this case?

dizba · Answer

It does not matter. It was approved there. Not only angoles produce left-hand traffic.

sander · Answer

And can it be 100% determined after marking the lamp? Because the seller insists that it is adapted to our right-hand traffic. The lamp is marked DEPO 2701685

Check post # 5. And now a few photos of the approval of lamps in left-hand traffic. The stickers are Nissan, the lamp is printed on Honda. Left: Laws: Left: Laws:

Looking at the shape of the slant on the mirror - asymmetrical light, right-hand traffic, i.e. continental Europe. The arrow is not a right / left movement, but the place where the lamp is mounted, in this case the left side of the vehicle (LH). The number of gauges and the types of lamps suggest that it is a H4 lamp.
Buddy sanfran, in this case, only after marking RHD on the sticker, you can tell that these are English lamps.

By the way, what's the problem to insert a light bulb and see what the shape of the light beam is?

Millaka · Answer

And that's what it is, the left / right arrow always points to the outer contour of the vehicle. ... and this E means: E1 Deutschland E2 Frankreich E3 Italien E4 Niederlande E5 Schweden E6 Belgien E7 Ungarn E8 Tschechien E9 Spanien E10 ehemaliges Jugoslavien E11 Grossbritannien E12 Österreich E13 Luxemburg E14 Schweiz Added after 7 [minutes]: And why there is no Polish E yet, I don't know.

I have a scooter from England. Unfortunately for me, with a lamp for left-hand traffic. On the review it was immediately clear that the beam was shining in the wrong direction. Advice from the controlling person? Either buy a new lamp for our movement, or - a cheaper option - polish the notches for the H4 bulb so that the bulb is turned and the upper catch is vertical (this is what was written about in col. Sanfran ). I sawed it, checked it - it's ok. I go through the next inspections without any problems.

sanfran · Answer

In the UK, the regulations are friendlier. All you need is a piece of tape on the lamp and the inspection is carried out without any reservations.

BANANvanDYK · Answer

It's probably an older scooter, because what is currently used in lighting new vehicles is a backward development. In motorcycles and mopeds lamps with symmetrical light (marking -BS on the windshield) are made, no matter if the S2 bulb or the HS1 / H4 halogen which is turned and the bevels on the mirror are made symmetrical.
In cars, 25W xenon in order to reduce the luminous flux and so that there is no need to install headlight washers ...
