Default Converting headlamps from LHD to RHD

Hi

I've searched the forum but couldn't find this answered anywhere else so forgive me if it has already been covered.

We are contemplating shipping a 2008 CR-V from sunny LA to the UK. On Euro cars, a lot have a switch on the back of the headlamp units to convert the beam pattern from LHD to RHD. The switch moves the reflector. Does the CR-V have this facility? If not, does someone have any RHD pattern headlamps spare?

Thanks

Could you just replace the headlamps with the UK version?

Yes I can. My thoughts are to buy the new lamps in the UK and bring across to US when I next come over. But I don't want to spend £££/$$$$ if there is a hidden lever somewhere. For example on my ex Ford Scorpio, the handbook told you how to do it. On the Ford Galaxy, the handbook says it was possible but dealer only - in fact it's the same lever. On some cars the lever is hidden away and even dealers don't know about it. Hence the question. And I can't go looking myself 'cos I'm in the UK and the CR-V in question is in LA.
