Before asking anybody to do this for you.

Find out if your headlights need changing some cars are fully adjustable but some are not.

If they do need changing investigate the cost.

Some are very expensive to change & by the time you add on all the other associated costs it may not be worth doing.

HI Gary 

you also need to be aware that if now bring a car over from the UK you will be liable to IVA at the original list price of the vehicle, you really need to look into this prior to spending any money on the minor parts of this 

it will probably work out cheaper to buy an already Spanish registered vehicle

We are considering a American left hand drive 

Will this need as much expense to register in Spain

An American car would not have a certificate of European origin so £££££ if it is possible at all.

A rhd car from UK would leave you sat on the "wrong" side for junctions, toll booths etc and be worth less money because of that.

Get rid and buy here I would say.
