UK HID's, going abroad

[john348]

but the HID lights have a lever built in to change the dipping. I went to the dealer and got them to show me where it was becasue I could not find the levers as they have been changed in the new face lift model. You cannot dip the lights by using stickers!!!!

On the back of the light is a round 3 pronged plastic plug. Take them out (1/3 of a turn) and feel inside. About a fingers length in you should feel a small lever sort of wrapped around the back of the headlight unit just push it (about an inch) round the light. I cannot remember which way it goes but it should be one way and you slide it the other.

THe only problem I came across is if you push it too much it unclips from the headlight all together and I had to take the back off the light to put it back on. THe clip did not have a way other than friction of clipping to the back of the light, THere was a fixing hole but nothing in it. I think it was wrong and I will take it up with the dealer next time I am in.

I know it is a bit of a poor explanation but I am pushed for time and relise you are going soon? If you want more info let me know.
