Adjusting headlights from left-hand traffic to right-hand traffic
t  In countries where vehicles are driven on the opposite side of the road to the vehicle's normal environment, both headlights must be partially masked by appropriately shaped opaque adhesive strips to prevent oncoming traffic from being dazzled.
t  There are different masking elements available for adapting headlights for left and right-hand drive traffic (adhesive elements for headlight lens) → Parts catalogue.
