Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to switch headlights from rhd to lhd beam, and if so how to do it?
I have a new model 2011 Passat. It seems certain models can do this via the mfi screen, but mine does not (SE bluemotion)
Thanks

Hi, if you have gas discharge headlights there can be levers inside the headlight to convert the beam pattern. If not then you can get stickers to go on the headlight which cover the kick up of the headlight. Hope this helps.

I believe that this is only possible with the Xenon headlamp option.

Just got the standard lights. Can't see anything obvious. The lens seems very big for the usual stickers.

i bought some stickers for my recent trip to France. Checked on the website for the fitting instructions for my 2011 Passat Estate Sport with normal headlights and they were there, so it is possible to do with stickers.
