Facelift C30 halogen headlamps: do they adjust for Europe?
 
Hi all, with a trip to Europe coming up, I was wondering if the facelift lights (halogen) have a simple lever to adjust the direction to make them 'legal'?

Appreciate the pre-facelifts have this lever, and that many simply don't bother adjusting lights on European trips anymore, but just wondering if the facelifts can be easily adjusted too?

Best way to find out is to remove the headlamp unit and remove the lamp cover at the rear. If you see a metal lever under the bulb that can be slid one way or another then they have the ability to flatten the beam for driving on the right.

Facelift S40 and V50 models retained this feature so I'd be a little surprised if the C30 didn't.

Yea, Im 99% sure its the same projector so most likely you will have it but checking yourself is probably best.
or if you have user manual - there is defo a section about it.

Surely the best way is to read the user manual?

Checked in my 2010 online manual already and there's nothing in it. Will check the real thing too but not holding my breath. Will pop one out and have a nose over the weekend.

For thread completion there is indeed a small metal lever to adjust the direction of the headlamps :regular_smile:

When you unclip the black plastic cover to access the main/dipped beam bulb you'll see it at the bottom.
