Adjusting Headlights for Europe

Hi,

I recently acquired a year 2000 S600L and will be taking over to Europe this week. According to the handbook I can use stickers to make the headlights safe for use but I thought this wasn't a good idea with Xenon headlights as they get hotter than normal lights. I don't want to end up with a sticky mess burned onto my lights!!

Please can someone confirm if there is a way to adjust the beam pattern? I've seen some cars have a small lever or control to perform this adjustment. Looking at the lights I can't see anything obvious, if it's there where is it!

Thanks,

HEB

I thought the UK was considered part of Europe?

Sorry should have said rest of Europe, we are the only bit that drive on the left!

I'm supposed to be driving to the Netherlands and don't want to blind everyone at night.

Since you have a 2000 model, I don't think there is a way to change it to LHD. I know some of the later Euro model MBs with projector type headlights, there is a way you can change the beam pattern from RHD to LHD and vice versa.
