Just checked the fault codes and I am getting the following which after a quick google might be due to me running lowered suspension (H&Rs)?!.. Anyone else had this issue?.. They seem to be set in the lowest possition?!..

Is the suspension set flat - not tilted up at the front?

Thanks for your reply..

Suspension was setup with the front slightly lower, is on level surface when I'm trying to do it?!..

Sure I am wrong but if we are talking about driving on the right hand side, I though there was a physical switch/lever on the backs of the headlamps? Don't blame me if I am wrong and you break something but could have sworn I read that on here somewhere.

Thanks for that, I did hear there was a switch but when I looked I couldn't find anything?!.. Anyone got a guide / images?!.. There seems to be some post saying you have to do it via vagcom and others saying use a switch?!.. confused!..

I taken mine to europe a couple of times now and haven't bothered changing the lights over. Not had any problems with people flashing or waving hands at me either. You'll be fine with them as they are.

This make me curious though.

Why have you done this or was it like that when you bought the car?
