Adjusting headlights from left-hand traffic to right-hand traffic
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 masking foils to prevent oncoming traffic from being dazzled.
t  There are different masking foils available for adapting headlights for left and right-hand traffic (adhesive elements for headlight lens) → Electronic parts catalogue.
Procedure
  Note
The masking foil has a projection (marking foil) which must be applied around the edge of the headlight lens so that the masking foil covers the asymmetrical area of the dipped beam headlights.
–  Thoroughly clean the headlight lenses on both sides of vehicle (must be clean and dry).
   
Headlight (driver's side):
–  Count the vertical lines on the headlight lens up to the 22nd line (starting from inside of headlight and working towards wing panel) and mark on the headlight lens with a felt-tip pen.
–  Remove protective backing from masking foil.
–  Apply masking foil so that it is flush with marked line -E-, bottom edge -A- and top edge -C- of headlight lens.
–  Adhere the masking foil to the headlight lens, as shown in the illustration.
–  Separate marking foil -D- from masking foil -B- at perforation -arrow- and then remove again from headlight lens.
