Lights Re: Driving on the other side of the road?

[z8cookie]

Anybody know what can be done with the head/beam lights on a Tuscan 1 for driving in Europe? I very much doubt they can be adjusted & I don’t think the stickers from Halfords will be a lot of use!

Don't worry, just buy a set of converters. DON'T fit them until you get pulled! Which I doubt you will. Never had a problem with either the Chim or the Tuscan.

True Al.

What 'convertors' do you refer to though?

Really could do with advise on this myself as i'm off to France next week & I have gas discharge lights on my Tuscan so need to know how to sort this out?

Thanks

I know that you cannot drive a Sagaris abroad at night legally, (guess it may be the same with others models) as you cannot get deflectors and when I asked my dealer and the factory I was told they dont do them.

So like most I bought any old ones from Halfords and took them with me in the glove box.

Attached is a diagram I got from Hella. I never bothered to do it myself (too much hastle). Apparently the process is:

To convert from UK to continental Dip.

Remove Screw A
Loosen screws B&C
Turn rear of lamp 15 degrees and reinsert screw A (from position marked L/G to R/D)
Tighten screws B&C


Hope this is of some use...

Sounds simple enough, but you have to be a contortionists with child size hands to actually do anything behind the headlights, I never bothered with my previous Tuscan and that spent a lot of time in Europe and never had any problems
