Default Headlights standard to bi-xenon

Hi all,

Looking at possibly buying an XC90 very soon, around 2004-2005. One of the options I quite like from my V70 were the bi-xenon headlights with autolevel. Because they had a feature, inside the headlight unit was a tab to switch the beam from RHD to LHD

I'm wondering do the standard headlights in the XC90 also have this feature or is it Bi-xenon bulbs only that have it ?

If it is , how big a job is it to get the car from standard to bi-xenon? Could I just simply swap out the headlight units and that be it or would it need new modules too ?

Unfortunately they are very rare to have this feature here where I am and unfortunately not in a position to import from the UK as they have introduced Nox charges on imports (Diesel) and it would cost over €3,000 to import an XC90 now on just Nox charges + the actual import cost of nearly €2,000

Any info be great , thanks !
