Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Changing headlights over from driving on right to driving on left (gas
discharge headlights)
| If a right-hand drive vehicle is driven in a left-hand drive
country, or vice versa, the headlights must be converted. This
is necessary in order to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic with
the asymmetric low beam headlights. |
 Note
| The conversion from driving on left to driving on right, or
vice versa, is performed by means of the infotainment system. |
| It is only permissible to make use of the headlight
converter for a short period of time. When permanently driving
in the respective country during a longer period of time,
suitable headlights need to be installed according to valid
specifications. |
