Hi all

Is there a switch for changing from LHD to RHD on this headlight?

Yes, its under the headlight cover and a bit of a pain in the ass to use.

See this thread: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1066003

Some people argue you don't need it for Adaptive Headlights or it doesn't exist (It does, I have them on my car), but the light is still biased to the UK pavement even with adaptive headlights. When you are abroad the light should bias the other way. Also when you are driving on hilly or bumpy roads abroad you will blind oncoming cars if you don't switch over. I was getting flashed all the time in Spain until I switched the beam over.

That doesnt seem to apply to the adaptive though?

Some say that. But I have adaptive headlights and have that switch. It adjuts the beams to aim more towards the pavement rather than into traffic.
