Title: Adjusting lights for driving on the right
Post by: dodgy on 04 June 2009, 15:26:11

Hi All,

I have an 2000 Omega 2.2 estate and I am going across to France next week. Having changed a bulb in the headlight recently I remember that inside the light units there is a metal lever which seems to adjust the lights in some way. Is this a left to right adjustment by any chance to save me using some tape or even yellow paint ? (Sorry but I dont have a manual for the car to check)

Regards

yes it is, although it just removes the upwards flick of the beam pattern

I've got xenons on my RHD car here in Spain and had the lights adjusted by the lever and it gets through each MOT. The light beam is reduced though so driving at night isn't so good.

For some reason the lever position is as follows for continental driving. Driver UP Passenger DOWN.

I am guessing but when you get back it will be Driver down and Passenger up!
