Question 2003 Echo Sedan - Right Hand Drive Headlights

Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help me locate a set of right hand drive headlights for my 2003 Toyota Echo sedan. I recently imported the Echo into the UK from Canada and have to change the headlights from Canadian left hand drive headlights to right hand drive headlights to conform to UK standards and pass the compulsory SVA test. Since the Echo wasn't produced in the UK, I'm struggling to find parts here. However after doing some research online I found that the Echo was also produced in Australia and as a Toyota Platz in Japan. I'm not sure if the models made in Japan and Australia are exactly the same, but if they are, could anyone direct me to somewhere that would import a set of headlights so I can get my Echo on the road.

Here's a photo of the same model of Echo that I currently have:



Thanks for your time.

Can't you just adjust them?

N.E.O.

Thanks for the replies, but unfortunately the headlights cannot be adjusted, using tape or "benders" to adjust the beams would work for an MOT, but not for the compulsory SVA test.

As for the Yaris, yes it's available in the UK, but the model is a completely different shape to my Echo and the headlights are not the same shape.
