tern
Normal position – the headlamp pattern
is correct for the country in which the car
was delivered.
Adapted position – designed for opposite
headlamp pattern.
WARNING
The headlamps must be handled with ex-
treme care due to the Xenon lamp being
supplied from a high-voltage unit.

The country in which the car is delivered de-
termines whether position is designed for
right or left-hand traffic.
Example 1
If a car that is delivered in Sweden shall be
driven in the UK then the headlamps should
be set to the adjusted position
Example 2
A car that is delivered in the UK is designed
for left-hand traffic and is driven there with
the headlamps in normal position
Halogen headlamps
The headlamp pattern for halogen head-
lamps is readjusted by masking the head-
lamp lens. The headlamp pattern may not be
as good.
Masking the headlamps
1. Copy the A and B templates for left-hand
drive cars or the C and D templates for
right-hand drive cars with a scale of 1:2,
for templates, see page 72. Use a photo-
copier with a zoom function for example.
2. Transfer the template to a self-adhesive
waterproof material and cut it out. Also
mark out the red dots.
3. Position the self-adhesive templates so
that the red dots correspond with the
dots on the headlamp lenses that form
reference points, see page 71.
