We went to Car Registrations Spain who realigned our headlights which was considerably cheaper than replacing them. Great service also 😀 http://www.car-registrations-spain.com/

Hi,

We also brought a Fiat 500 over. I got the headlights free from someone I knew in the UK.
If you can get them realigned that would work out cheaper, but I’m not sure you can, because you will see them sold as either LHD or RHD. Some cars don’t need changing as they are universal, my Jag was. However, when the Fiat went to be ITVd (MOT) it failed because, as said, the fog lights were on the wrong side. I brought just the outer cover (reflector) not the full lights on Amazon (cost around £35 for the pair) and changed over the wiring myself. It’s a very simple job, all you need to do is extend the existing wires for both the fog and reversing lights so they will reach the other sides of the car. A five minute job.

Although not a Fiat 500. We had to get our headlights from the UK. Not cheap. Plus they wanted our Spanish address before we could have them.
