Switching Xenon from left to right dip

Hi I have a W208 2002 CLK 55 AMG and as I am going to be spending some time in Europe I would like to know where the swith is to change the dipping on the lights from left to right.I have been told that maybe as my Xenons are self leveling they may be switchable.The main dealer is a bit vague.Could someone advise me please.

Thanks

from memory, i believe it is a switch/setting right on the projector itself. am
digging through my notes right now but for some reason, unable to find the
exact blurb. w/o question, MBenzNL should have this so email him or BIGSIS.
if i uncover this, i'll post

dont know where you are, or which country your car was spec-ed for sale. but
all OEM HID/xenon are set up for self-leveling. that has nothing to do with
convertable cutoff.

never found my notes but i did find this thread which will give insight into which
projectors might have this switch. am concluding that US issued HIDs from MB
do not.
