Original Poster here, I ended up paying £££ for these parts: · K05067786AC · K05067787AC As I wanted to be absolutely sure of an MOT pass and simply couldn't find anyone at the time breaking a RHD DJ or Fiat Freemont (The latter would be miraculous). They worked, correct RHD Beam pattern, clear pass. Car is now permanently registered and apparently the only one in the UK... The insurer had to insure it as a DJ with a note on the file. Thanks for resurrecting this thread so I was reminded to update it.

Dear All, This isn't my first post, I have asked before about verifying the existence of a UConnect option of a changeover switch for a Fiat Freemont's headlights to be able to drive it legally both in Europe and the UK. That was a fruitless enquiry, no one could help in the end and the mystery of whether this functionality exists outside of the owners manual still isn't solved for me. It became irrelevant as when I bought the car a year ago, the dealer promised a cheap enough solution. I have now been assigned back to the UK from Poland where I bought my Dodge Journey in its Italian suit. Problem is, to import it, it needs to pass a technical inspection and currently, the lights point the wrong way. I asked when I bought the car and was told that for about $400 equivalent the RHD lights were readily available and a breeze to fit. Now, 1 year later, I go to buy them and the Polish dealer is claiming that this was never the case. In desperation I have trawled numerous sites and other forums and I have found the ePER here: http://212.41.221.85:7082/navi?SGRP_COD=1&MOD_COD=345&COMM_MODEL=FRM&SBMK=F&COUNTRY=99&DRIVE=S&MAKE=F&CAT_COD=24&GRP_COD=554&SGS_COD=55401-010&LANGUAGE=3&ALL_FIG=0&RMODE=DEFAULT&KEY=PARTDRAWDATA&EPER_CAT=SP&GUI_LANG=3&ALL_LIST_PART=0&PRINT_MODE=0&PREVIOUS_KEY=SUBGROUP_7&SB_CODE=-1&WINDOW_ID=1&ALL_LIST_PART=0 (which may be of some wider use to DJ owners) I think part numbers K05067786AC and K05067787AC may be what I need (they are the only ones listed on Australian and Irish sites) but - at over $1000USD equivalent - I want to be absolutely sure. The Polish dealer doesn't have a clue, or care, and just wants my money - can make me a special order but no returns. UK Fiat dealer is telling me that there is nothing available for my production year and to give up (not an option) The central customer helpline just directs me to speak to a parts department at useless dealers. Australia doesn't have an email and is asleep when I am awake - I have asked in a Australia forum. Japan... well... have you tried to read it? Aftermarket option is half the price but lots of risk (both because of the nightmare stories of poor quality and because it might fail at import inspection) Can any on the Gurus on here give me a clue: 1. Will the fittings for K05067786AC and K05067787AC definitely match the current set: K05067786AD and K05067787AD? Will they work? 2. What do the last 2 designators on the Mopar parts mean - do they give me any clues? 3. What are Line B vehicles as opposed to Line C & D vehicles? - I have seen references to this when differentiating between part numbers 4. How simple is it to change internal workings to make the lights RHD legal? Any, any other help with this would be greatly appreciated. I'm posted in 4 weeks so if something has got to come from a long way away, I am already cutting it close. Thanks in advance

Ok, resurrecting this... It's my original post so hopefully that's not outrageous. The time has come for me to return to the UK. I am not keen on aftermarket units having read some dodgy reviews... Unless anyone has personal recommendations. So the pricey OEM parts are the way forward. Can any gurus out there tell me which of these are for Left Driving (steering wheel on the right) markets: 1 K05067786AC HEADLAMP 1 K05067787AC HEADLAMP 1 K05067788AC HEADLAMP 1 K05067788AD HEADLAMP 1 K68227072AA HEADLAMP 1 K05067789AC HEADLAMP 1 K05067789AD HEADLAMP 1 K68227073AA HEADLAMP my local Polish dealer says it is all too difficult for them to work it out....

Hello from Europe, My Freemont is affected by this recall - I only found out by checking the Mopar site. I have asked FCA when the recall will be carried out in Europe to be told that while it does affect my vehicle no plans for a recall are available outside of N. American markets. Either a) FCA reckons we Europeans don't need ABS anyway or b) they give less of a toss about their European customers (probably because we are less likely to sue). Either way, I'm pissed. I accept the likelihood of failure is low but nonetheless losing any braking ability on a 2.2 ton vehicle is less than cool. What's more annoying is that the safety recall was first published in October and I bought the car in November (I only found the safety recall later - as I didn't check first because I sort of assumed that you wouldn't sell a car with a known manufacturer fault - at least without notifying the customer!) I have tried to get any sort of reply from FCA Poland as to when they will resolve this problem - with side questions as to why they care less about us Europeans than N Americans, to no avail - to the point where I am already escalating it. Does anyone have any Points of Contact who might be able to help me find out the answers?

Thanks Bramfrank. Hopefully the RHD units I will buy will have the internal mechanics so I can recoup some of the cost by selling the originals. Thanks for your help.

My understanding from the 2014/15 English, Polish and German manuals is that it changes the beam pattern - dip to the left vs dip to the right. In truth (if it exists) it probably just flattens the beam dispersion pattern - though this is enough to allow the car to be registered in the UK without having to buy whole new units. On that DRL thread there is lots of talk of sales codes... I wonder, has anyone ever seen a code for this feature?

Ha ha, well we didn't all get bailed out by the French! We still use imperial units in the UK too - mph / mpg etc. - that would normally be another problem with buying the car in Europe but fortunately because of its DJ heritage the Freemont has Imperial units too. Does anyone on here (NA, Aus, or European) have the option on their 8.4 UConnect System?

Hello Forum, NOOB here. I am looking at buying a Fiat Freemont (wolf in sheep clothing ) 2014 model. I'm in the British Army, stationed in Eastern Europe. We Brits still drive on the Left but I have got a good price for a Polish Freemont. In all of the manuals, in Polish, English, German etc.. it says that with the 8.4 UConnect System I should have an option to enable Headlight Dip (Traffic Changeover) for driving on the wrong/right side of the road. The dealership here in Poland has tried to be helpful, but he is as confused as me as to why the option doesn't appear on the UConnect system on the car I am looking to buy - top specification - should have all options fitted and enabled. He has managed to find a solution by offering to sell me complete RHD Light Units, as fitted to Australian DJs and Freemonts for a mere 600 GBP!? This seems a little steep if there is an option that just needs to be switched on. I read, with interest, the DRL thread and wonder if anyone has had any experience of this option on their DJs or Freemonts, or whether there is something I can do to get it switched on? Thanks for your time and patience in advance.
