Z4 Xenon - switching beam for the continent

[Fondue]

A'noon all.

I recently bought a Z4C and the wife an I are off to France (+ Switzerland, Germany & Holland!) on Sat for a week's touring holiday and I noticed in the manual that I am able to switch the Xenon's from RHD to LHD which is a bit of a result. However, I've just been out to the car, unscrewed the panel in the wheel arch, but can't see the lever that I apparently need to flick. Has anyone else done this and can give me any tips on where I'm going wrong? I'm not the most mechanically minded person, but I'm willing to give stuff a try if I know I'm doing the right thing!

Cheers,

Nick

Run it into your local stealer, they will do it FOC for you.

Really? Oh that's pretty decent of them!

The adjuster is a very small, thin, metal tab adjacent to the bulb unit. It's easy to miss.

You have to take off the wheelarch panel, then remove the plastic headlight cover (secured with a metal spring), to get to it.

Don't bend it too much or it will snap off!

That was my exact fear - I tried lifting the bar over the doohicky, but it was really stiff and didn't want to pull it too hard. (This post is entirely open to misinterpretation!)

Ah, the metal spring just takes a bit of brute force, lift it out then down.

The little metal tab inside is quite thin and prone to snapping. Don't ask me how I know that

Way to put my mind at ease!
