Adjusting front lights from RHD to LHD 2009

I have a UK registered RHD 2009 ML350cdi 4matic. I am moving to Spain and need to adjust / change the front lights for driving on the right.

How do you do this?

Many thanks in advance...

Hello Maj. Dundee,

Many thanks for the PDF, much appreciated. I have booked the car into a Mercedes dealer in Malaga for next Monday, hopefully they can fathom it out. The alternative is two new headlights at almost €3000..!

Best regards,

No on the headlamps. It's just an adjustment.

Hello Maj. Dundee,

Many thanks and you will be pleased to know that Mercedes in Malaga managed to use the PDF and changed the lights along with some electronic programme.

Yesterday, my ML successfully passed the ITV (Spain's equivalent of the UK MOT) and I am just awaiting the documentation and Spanish registration plates.

Thanks again, yours sincerely, Lee..;.
