1.6 Change headlight for right-hand and/or
left-hand traffic
The halogen headlights should have self-adhesive foil glued over
them when driving in countries which drive on the right or the left
thereby preventing blinding of the drivers travelling in the opposite
direction.
Note
The change of the headlights is not suitable for the permanent
♦
mode, rather only as a brief "touristic" solution during a tem‐
porary journey abroad.
Both headlights must always be changed.
♦
The lenses must be cleared of dirt and de-greased, e.g. with
♦
degreased white spirit solution, before sticking the foil.
When cleaning and gluing foils, the lens must remain cold for
♦
safety reasons.
The instructions "right" and/or "left" on the protective foils al‐
♦
ways refer to the front visibility towards the outside.
Ensure that the correct protective foil is chosen, see ⇒ Elec‐
♦
tronic Catalogue of Original Parts.
– Remove the rear protective foil.
– Place the foil on the headlight in such a way that the lower and
outer vertical edge of the auxiliary part of the foil is offset with
the bottom edge of the lens and the vertical auxiliary contour
on the headlight panes, see Fig.
