You need some beam benders and line them up with the dot on the headlamp glass, Only Bi xenons as you guessed have the adjusting feature. |

Unfortunately it seemsyou cannot do this by yourself as the handbook, as all handbooks are allways quoting tips and instructions mostly for the cars with "have them all extras".

You are right - why make a vehicle for the 21st century that needs beam benders Here are 2 threads that may be helpful. http://www.freel2.com/forum/topic1411.html...+continent http://www.freel2.com/forum/topic593.html?...+continent Hope you have a good trip Last edited by muddywheels on 18th May 2008 9:15 pm.

Purely manufacturing cost of the headlamp units and the fact that you cannot simply add 'beam bender' stickers to xenons. It may sound unfriendly to other road users, but in all honesty I wouldn't even worry. When I moved over to Holland in 2002 I took my UK BMW over for the first 6 months and simply tweaked the light level lever to the low setting and never got flashed by people on the road. I did intend to get the beam benders but forgot in amongst moving and then couldn't find them in Holland for a RHD vehicle, understandably. It really didn't blind people and in Holland a majority of the roads you'll use at night with significant amount of vehicles will be highways and on the backroads you'll find very few cars.....it's not like the UK where you have to go along the twisty bits to get anywhere, it's all highways in Holland. |
