European travel - headlight ajustment

<< < (2/3) > >>

JPC:
Im with mike on this one.

there will probably be a lever inside the headlight John, that changes the beam pattern.

They have that function on the OEM lights, and some aftermarket lights i had on a mk4 once

RedRobin:
^^^^
John's got aftermarket headlight units with the LED DRL strips.

Hurdy:
No internal adjustments :sad1:

Just got some stick on jobbies and also found out that you can buy headlight protectors from VW that come with a conversion to EU light patterm.

Thanks for the help guys :happy2:

JPC:
rather than it being a conversion, it just cuts off the higher part of our light pattern on the left hand side.

Basically it chops out a lot of your light.

It does always beg the question with me this one....


how many french, polish, estonian, spanish and Lithuanian truckers/drivers bother to change their headlight pattern?

Oli:
Having just returned from france, I am in a fairly strong position to comment, especially as I did 800 miles overnight!

I purchased the proper headlight protectors and stickers, but still had to set my lights to setting one, as I got flashed when they were in the normal position!

On the way back I removed the covers and stickers completely, and set the postion to 1 and didnt get flashed once, and I have uprated bulbs.

SO the moral is dont buy anything, just set them to one, no probs!
