LHD - RHD

Does anyone know if a feature of switching from LHD to RHD H/lamps is possible on Xenon active headlamps so if your car is a RHD you can switch to LHD when in Europe etc.

I had a Fiat Camper and it was just the flick of a switch

Xenon lights have a flat been so no need to adjust anything when traveling to another country.

Interesting one - it may be ok if you just switch active headlights on? I would think otherwise that you would be upsetting a few people!

I have recently done over 2,500 miles in Spain with Xenons - as issued - and no problems at all. Mind you most of it was daytime!

what's the situation with normal halogen headlights, is there an easy way to adjust the beam pattern between UK and Europe OR is it still stickers on the headlights?

I'm sure Halogens are stickers. Xenons do not require any changes.

We used stickers on ours for our European trips - works fine.

Thank you each and every one for your replies.

I find it disappointing that there is not a button on this forum to enable anyone to thank a member for a helpful post in reply to a query

Yes Halogen are Stickers but in the past I have not used stickers when I had adjustable h/lamps and used to run on lowest setting
