P700's aren't handed, they just give a flat beam profile.

 

I have trouble getting through UK MOT's with them, but you might be alright in Sweden!

what trouble do you have, the beam profile isnt handed at all or its too much the wrong way?

Wierdly, a friend has them on his mini and his look as though they are for a left hand drive car, the beam is flat but flicks up to the right. Are you sure they are all flat beam?

ended up ordering a set specified for LHD from http://www.bowerspartsonline.co.uk/

they have an ebay store but be careful as i notice their store had the lights at £44 + delivery at £37(Sweden) but their ebay store had the lights at £58 and delivery at £17, called them at got the site price for the lights and the ebay price for the delivery, very helpful guys

Last time I looked at mine using one of those alignment tools at the MOT garage, the beam profile was unrecognisable and wasn't handed at all.

 

Maybe there's lots of different manufacturers of these now since they're quite popular, I'm not sure! I may have jumped the gun a bit with my comment haha.

 

Good luck with yours!
