I just took my Fiat Ducato X2/50 Autotrail Mohican SE for it’s first MOT and was amazed when it failed on the headlamps. Apparently one of the headlamps is for a right hand drive UK vehicle (which mine is) and the other is for a left hand drive EU vehicle.
This is of course a failure. The MOT centre said they have seen more cases than this one, so it would seem there may be many Ducatos with the wrong headlights. I would like to urge Fiat Ducato X2/50 owners to get their headlamps checked. It is quite simple
to check yourself if you shine your headlamps onto a wall and check the pattern, UK headlamps have a flat edge at the right side with a kick up to the left to illuminate the side of the road and EU headlamps a flat on the left side with a kick up to the right.
If you have two EU headlamps, it would be OK to fit beam deflectors, but you can’t have one of each.
