Headlights

Post by ronk » Sun Oct 18, 2009 10:51 am

What do I have to do with my headlights for my next holiday in Germany? I can't find anything in the owners booklet.
I only hope its a dockside change, or better still nothing!
The car has Xenons.

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

Prefacelift
Open the access hatch under the wheel arch. Remove the lights rear cover. Flick the lever by the side of the xenon light to cut off the assymetric left side of the beam, replace the cover and access panel. 2-3 minutes per side.

It MUST be done with lights off due to high voltage of xenon

Post facelift may be different and in fact I don't think you do anything

Thanks for the info. If it only cuts off the assymetric bit of the beam pattern, its a job on the driveway prior for departure!
I take notice of the high voltage warning.

Thanks again
