Driving On The Continent + NEW XXX PICS

[DELANO]

Has anyone had occasion to drive their X5 into Continental Europe from the UK or visa versa? I am planning a trip to France and Holland and would like to know if there is an easy way to ensure the headlights comply with local requirements. This is what I have read from the AA website:

Modern high-intensity discharge (HID) or xenon headlights
These can't be adapted by applying an external mask. Fortunately, many feature an internal 'shutter' that can be moved into place by a screw or lever adjustment at the back of the headlamp unit. But some designs are less convenient and the dealer will need to make the adjustment.

I have contacted my dealer however as usual they do not seem to have an answer for me. I have made about 4 calls to various people without any result. It would make sense that with such a modern vehicle it should be a simple electronic adjustment; however, I have been unable to find a solution.

Any help would be appreciated.
