On my facelift omega i have xenons which have a sort of switch inside the light so that when you want to drive on the other side of the road you can swap the beam over.
I only found this because the guy at the garage put a side light bulb in and must of moved it so when i used the car at night it looked like i had a bulb gone.
Is this only on xenon lights or is it on all.
Yep, fairly sure, when fixing my battered old cdx lights to get through mot, that there was a lever to swap for left hand drive, on the continent, i presumed, dont hold me to it tho.
Try a search, or was it on the other site?
Yep, you lads are half right!....or left depending which country you are in!
There is a switch fitted on the lense of vehicles fitted with projector style lenses (including xenons). The switch only serves as a TEMPORARY measure however as it simply FLATTENS the beam pattern from \___ to _____ for travelling abroad.
This will not pass an MOT in the uk. Craig, if you can imagine, the beam pattern on your new lights will be ___/ to account for the left hand drive. In no circumstances should you use this in the UK like this, you will blind oncoming traffic!
Would be interesting if you could modify the new units though?
