Help please. Driving abroad in a gti

[Roboped]

Hello new member so first off hello to all.

Can anyone help me?

I am taking my little gti onto the continent and I'm having issues regarding me xenon beam pattern. Does anyone know what to do?

I'm pretty sure the lens stickers are no good. I was led to believe there is a lever on the back of the headlight to flick over which solves this.

Does anyone have experience of this????

Thank you

I've just fitted xenons to my tdi, and did loads of research about the xenons. It turns out on the lupos there is no switch to change the beam pattern, so to get lhd ones you need to buy complete new units. I'm not sure if the stickers work, apparently they scatter the xenon beam, making it worse, but I'm not sure if there are any 'updated' ones suitable for xenons available. I guess it depends how long you are taking it over there for if its worth getting complete new lights or risking it as it is.

Here's some of the old threads:
