Adjusting headlights for driving abroad

I have a 2012 fl2 SD4 and I am sure I read somewhere that the headlights can be adjusted for driving on the right. I cannot find it in the handbook. Can anyone advise please.

Read again at page 32 for MY2012 handbook or page 28 for MY2010 handbook, depending on what you have...

It's on page 30 of your manual in the Exterior lights section.

Alternatively go into the Topix site Owner ection and you can find the pdf of the manual. That is where I got the page 30 from.

It includes a nice little picture where to find the tourist lever once you've removed the headlight units from the vehicle. I can arrive at ferry terminal, and have the dip pattern switched over in 15/20 minutes start to finish without rushing. That includes removing the units, disconnecting the power, taking the back off, moving the lever, reconnecting and reassembling, refitting and then a check to ensure all lights working properly. Easy peasy.

ah beaten to it by Alex.

Is the 'tourist lever' for Halogen as well as for Xenon Question and if yes was MY12 the model year for introduction as my book say for Xenon only.

its just for xenon When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car

When I took my last car (2008 Audi A4 Avant) to Germany, I bought those stick on things that project the light differently. They were useless! I couldn't even get them off the headlights after returning to the UK! I had to use white spirit in the end. Any other alternatives?

I have standard halogen lights and go abroad quite often. Answer.....I bought a cheap set of second hand LH drive lights off ebay and fit them before I go. No less work than taking Xenons out to change the lever! Cool John
