There is a lever that will give a flat beam pattern for continental driving, but it will not make it a LHD headlight

If you have HID/Projector lights they can be reset to a semi-continental position quite easily

page 121

This changes the beam from \___ \___ - the UK setting - to _____   _____

It does NOT change it to a full "Europe" spec which would be ____/ ____/

HTH

EDIT .. must type faster .. :)

One moves up, t`other moves down. Then reverse it to revert back to normal
