You might have more luck in the regional section. I googled "LHD headlight conversion" and I see several posts on other forums about it. But I still have no freakin' idea what the conversion is or why it's required. Sorry mate!

I think, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but LHD lights are supposed to angle a bit of the beam up and to the right so as to illuminate street signs. Same way with RHD lights except they shoot it off to the left, which in the states and apparently germany, would be into oncoming traffic.
Edited to add that all you should need is a new set of housings that are from a LHD car.
