Headlight adjustment for driving on the right

[lard-ajc]

Is there an easy way to adjust the headlights for a trip to france in a couple of weeks? I'd prefer not to put the stickers on the headlights and I'm sure there must be a way to do it with the lights themselves.

Does anyone have experience of this and how do you go about doing it?

thanks

What does the manual see?

Manual says put stickers on!

Only other way is to get hold of a pair of LHD halogen headlamps.

easier just to do stickers then... than get replacement lights, fit them & get them aligned

Looks like stickers are the way to go then.

Next question is where to stick them. An ancient escort I used to have had obvious marks on the headlights to show where to put the stickers but the leon has nothing. Have googled and can't find a fitting guide.

Look forward to any help

Do you have the owners manual? There are clear-ish instructions in that for positioning.

When you go shopping for the stickers, don't be tempted to buy the cheapest...

We drive down to Spain a couple of times a year and always use these . Others we have used have dropped off.

Oh yeah - always ensure whichever ones you get are translucent and not opaque as this will fooook up the polycarbonate plastic of the headlights.

You will only need the circular bit and there is a sheet inside the pack showing how to position them - but as the headlights are clear, it is not an exact science...
