Headlights when driving in Europe (from UK)
Hi guys,
Going on a road trip from UK to Europe so need to adjust my headlights for driving on the other side of the road. My car is a 2004 with standard halogens. Any ideas how to do this? what have others done in the same situation? The manual shows a lever accessible via the headlight compartment, but I can't find it. In fact, the diagram in the manual (pg86) doesn't tie back with what I see at all.  Thanks

??? I didn't know that it mattered. I thought the headlights pointed forward.

Our head lights light up the right side of the road and are clipped on the left side as to not blind on comming traffic. England is opposite of this/ours, hense his concern.

The lever for switching the headlight pattern is, I believe, only on European cars and not on US cars. In Europe, one can travel from England to France and have to switch the pattern but on the NA continent everyone drives on the right side of the road.
