Switching Litronics over for Europe

[Rolfey]

Hi all,
Now before you all shout at me - I know this has been posted many many times before!!! I've searched the pages and I can't find any of the previous discussions so I can only presume they've dropped off.
So here goes - I am off to France in a couple of weeks and in preparation I took one of the headlamps out the other day to see how you switch them over for driving on the right.
I must be losing my eyesight in my old age - but I couldn't see where or how you switch them over??
Any pointers would be really appreciated !
Thanks,

It's in the manual, you need to remove the light housing, remove a smal bit of casing (held together by 2 screws and tabs), and then use an allen key to switch over.

No need to remove any screws on the 986 [8D]

My understanding was that the lights could onlt be adjusted on a 986 if the litronic units were fitted (litronics lights have the washer jet nozzles in the front nose). The latter 987 units both halogen and gas discharge have the facility to blank the left or right corners (depending on your country of origin) of the beam by moving a flap from O to T inside the rear of the headlamp.

That is correct.
It was possible to spec the headlight washers on non-litronic lights though - but I doubt there are many.

Thanks - will take a part again and have another look.

Will also blow the dust off the manual and take another read.

(I was hoping nobody would remember I posted a similar discussion before!!! Thanks John ;-) !!)
