Converting headlights for use when driv‐

ing on the left or right

Note

To avoid dazzling oncoming traffic with asymmetrical lights,

both headlights should be converted to the direction of traffic

(driving on the left or right) relevant to the country in which the

vehicle is being driven.

The corresponding headlight conversion set consists of two

sections of film.

Conversion of the headlights is not designed as a permanent

conversion for other countries. It is only suitable as a „tourist

solution“ for a short stay abroad.

Both headlights of a vehicle must always be converted.

The details „right“ and „left“ on the masking film always refer

to the direction of travel when looking forwards from inside the

vehicle.
