Default F4i UK to EU headlight conversion

Is it posible to change the beam direction from left to right in the UK headlight somehow without changing the whole headlight?

The bulbs and holders are the same part number from left to right. It seems that it would only be moving the wiring between left and right. Now, is there enough length to move the left wires to the right side and right to left, I don't know. I guess you'd just have to look at it.

AFAIK, you do not need to change the beam, the F4i has an asymmetric beam (which is flat) so doesn't actually favour one side or another and therefore should not need changing.

They always say that.. new users. Just like the Terminator, "I'll be back"... lol. OK, we'll be here.

So where are you from and what's the riding like there?

My english is not so good so its hard to tell as much as i want
Im from Lithuania. These bikes prety rare here. Or they starting to get uncommon sight everywhere i think? Just sold my FZS and got 05 f4i. Pretty barn find because dude did not plan to sold it but didnt ride with it also. By the way dude who bought my fzs crashed it about over a 500 hundred meters..
It have about 14k miles on clock, all MOT and other paper history. Condition is not the best because came from England but overall pretty alive. Its not my first or second bike and since i have some experience, i believe to wake it up pretty soon.
Needs to check front brakes, change fork seals, brake pads, chain, oil, filters etc. Oh and FI error blinking so will take it to diagnostics.

So thats all the long story short for the introduction

Thank you for the introduction Ugnius, it is nice when people take the time to introduce themselves.
We are here to help and there is a tremendous amount of experience on this forum.
How long have you been riding and which other bikes have you had?
I bet there is some terrific riding over there in Lithuania I have not made it that far over Germany / Hungary is as far as I have been.
Please let us have some pictures, we like pictures.

You're doing great on the English, so don't worry about that. As for the blinking FI indicator, how many blinks is it producing? Maybe someone on here can help.

Yeah I quickly noticed that this forum is a treasure of knowledge.
My riding experience started about a 14 years ago. Officially 11 years then i was age enough to get the drivers license.
Started with Honda XLR 125 Later then had Yamaha DT 125 After that Suzuki GS 500. Had made it a nice little custom bike and then it got stolen.. Later Yamaha FZS 600 and at the same time a few trash bikes to have fun around. Next up was the most crazy ride on two wheels i ever had. Husqwarna WR 300. Dope 2t smoker kiling mashineThen another FZS and now i feel the best of them all to me F4i.
Pictures will be later on because its still not in my garage. Planning to get it home tomorrow
