Hi,
I've taken my A6 Avant 09 over to France and trying to get my headlights changed over to RHD. I called a number of dealers and getting very different information. Some "think" its a possible to adjust them, other want to charge me over 1000 quid to replace the headlights.
I can get some replacement headlights cheaper from Germany and fit them myself (a bit of a pain to take the front bumper of though). However my question is; Are Halogen headlights (Part No:4F0941003) adjustable. i know earlier version of the A6 had and orange adjustment switch and the new A6 can be set in the MMI.

any advice welcome :-)

IIRC only the xenons are adjustable to driving on the continent, halogens have to make do with stick-on beam adjustors, I know this definately applies to pre facelift cars.

Why don't you just use sticky things on the lenses as a short term, am guessing your A6 is in France for a while and the long term solution would be to get a set of correct lights for driving on that side, if so use ebay.de as am sure they'll be a lot cheaper
