However, here in the States, those very same headlights will blind oncoming drivers, not to mention that your headlight illumination of the road will be less than optimum. Consider swapping out the headlight for those designed to be operated on vehicles driven on the right side of the road.
BTW, great looking Cobra! What is the build number?

Thanks so much for the info, I will absolutely look into that. I have to wait a few weeks for inspection so it gives me time to go through some things.
It's build #1115, 2012 build from VMS, owner one was a guy in Aubrun Cal. went back to VMS a few years ago and then sold to second owner in San Diego.
Appears very clean top to bottom, everything works well, VMS did a full service and tires in 2021, it's been in storage for a while and loads up a bit, gonna do a plug change today as well as fluids... at some point I'm gonna change the single stripe configuration to dual stripes.
