Changing lights for European roads

Hey dudes... going to France in the D4... I was wondering if there is any way to reset the lights for driving in the right? And also can I make the digital speedo read in KPH??

It is interesting that I have never seen European car in the UK with headlight deflectors. Nor have I been offered them when coming back to the UK in French vehicle.

Had an interesting time in Tunisia with our convoy of D3s, regularly getting flashed. But not me (halogens) and the LHD cars were also getting flashed. Only explanation is they had the 'ump with xenons. Thumbs Up

Maybe they were adjusted high, I always wind my lights down low.

Don’t think you will, over the water the headlights are of flat beam design, ours did flick up to the left on older vehicles, many UK vehicles now have a flat beam, the last of the FL2’s did as does the the Disco from MY14.
But happy to be corrected.

according to the manual.......headlamps have a pattern that eliminate the need to mechanically adjust the lamps or add any external stick on decals
adjustment via vehicle set up

Some peeps will say don't give the gendarmes an excuse to pull you over, but best way of stopping les gendarmes pulling you over is not speeding. They have no idea if you have or haven't switched your lights over, but they do have an idea if you've been belting along where you shouldn't be. Thumbs Up
