I will shortly be taking my 2005 V50 2.0D with bi-xenon headlamps to the UK (from Germany). Anyone know how to change the angle of the headlamps for driving on the other (left) side of the road?

Thanks!

didn't think they pointed in any other direction than straight.

It's detailed in the manual - on page 125 in my copy - it'll be easier to read with pictures.

I've got halogens so can tell you for that off by hand. For bi xenons you have to take the back cover off the headlamp and you will see a lever on the side of what looks like the reflector (looks like a cheap piece of bent metal, as per the halogens) - just flick this into the alternative position you need - up for right hand drive traffic, down for left hand drive traffic.

Hope this helps
