Adjusting xenon headlight beam to drive in UK

[Andy R]

Hi,

I am about to take my Megane 3 with xenon headlights to the UK - does anyone know if it is possible to adjust the headlight beam to left hand drive position.

Hi Andy,

I found this:

Adjust the beam pattern to suit driving on the right so that the dipped beam doesn't dazzle oncoming drivers.
The legal requirement is to 'not cause dazzle to oncoming drivers' rather than specifically to adjust/convert headlamp beam pattern.

Delays and bad weather can't always be predicted so even if you're only making a short trip and don't plan to drive at night we recommend that you at least carry a set of headlamp beam convertors with you – unless your lights can be adapted without them. Beam converter kits may not be suitable for all types of headlight – check carefully.

High-intensity discharge (HID), halogen or xenon headlights

Some headlights have an internal 'shutter' that can be moved into place by a screw or lever adjustment at the back of the headlamp unit, but others are less convenient and the dealer will need to make the adjustment.
Some headlamp beam converter kits are suitable for these types of light too.
Remove headlamp converters as soon as you return to the UK.
