If you mean European Drive trips then it does not pose a problem because the UK, Ireland & Cyprus are the only countries in Europe (if my memory serves me well) where vehicles drive on the left side of the road. Therefore, this problem would only exist if traveling from or to the pre-mentioned locations.

See page 129 of the UK driver's manual. It tells you how to do it there.

They must have added 10 pages of guff for 2008 models. P139 in mine relates to postcode entry for Nav!

Very possible I have attempted to reach the mechanism and test the adjustment; however, it appears that the diagram is not representative of the headlight housing. I will try once again in the morning, but I fear that I will have to make a trip to the dealership if I am unsuccessful.

Its a very simple procedure to change the direction in which it dips. There is a mechanism behind the light housing that does it. However easier said than done as due to the curved bonnet sweeping inwards it leaves little room to fiddle with the light housing. Should take a dealer only 2 minutes if they know what they are doing.... also having spent this much on a car , they should not charge you for a 2 minute job!

This was my experience, I could not see what I was reaching for and my arm had to make some contortionist type movements in the attempt to reach it.
Thank you x5mad.
