1.7 Converting headlights from driving on
right to driving on left
Note
To avoid dazzling oncoming traffic with the asymmetrical
♦
lights, both headlights should normally be converted relevant
to the country (driving on the left or right) in which the vehicle
is being driven.
The asymmetrical dipped beam of the headlights in the up!
♦
remains below the legally prescribed dazzle values even if the
headlight lens is masked.
Converting the headlights temporarily for use in countries
♦
where vehicles drive on the other side of the road is therefore
unnecessary.
