Changing Headlight Beam Direction from RHD to LHD

Hi Guys

Thanks Peter for pointing me at this forum :-)

I'm taking the ML to France at the end of the month, so I need to change the headlights' dipped beam direction for driving on the left.

On my last cars (BMW 535 and an Audi TT) this was a DIY jobb taking only a few minutes, without needing to attach any nasty beam bender stickers, can I do the same on the ML.

Cheers

JustinP

If you have a UK model like mine there is a lever visible when you remove the main 'hatch' at the back of the light (behind the headlight, not the driving light).

If you move the lever down it cuts off the raised portion on the left of the beam pattern so that the beam pattern is straight from left to right, this makes driving on the continent OK without dazzling anybody but it does not give you a raised beam to the right as the locals have.
