Headlamps for LHD

[gotoPzero]

In years gone by I have always converted my cars to LHD when driving in France.
In the old days there was a lever you turned to do it on the headlamps.
Then more recently its been done in the settings.

I have just had a look on my A3 (2019) which has LED lights and I cant see any option to do it nor anything in the manual.

Anyone know if its just leave as is or not?

Cheers

You've been lucky with your choice of cars, I don't think I've ever owned a car with that feature. If the beam pattern is flat you can leave as it is, but that's unlikely.

Normally cars with Satnav know and re-angle the beam accordingly

Spoke to local dealer they said if there is no option to change the beam setting in the mmi just dont worry about it as its LED it will be ok.
It is quite a number of years since I have driven over there so I will just go with that!

A 2019 VAG car may have the option to change the beam setting in the infotainment screen to driving on the right. I know a 2019 Golf with adaptive headlights does.

As other have said - beam patterns are now flat enough not to have to worry. My 2022 Volvo has no such feature.
