General: - Euro Headlamp Converters on D5 SE Lux

chenry · Apr 23rd, 2019, 22:07

Hi,

First post. Picking up our 2012 SE Lux on Saturday and then heading to France on Tuesday, do I need the headlamp converters or is it something that can be set within the car? I know my Evoque does it automatically, but on the XC I'm not sure. I've looked through the manual and it's not mentioned. I've searched here and found that if it has the bendy lights then it has, but mine doesn't have those.

Many thanks in advance.

No "bendy lights" = no continental dip.

You will have to fit those horrible beam bender/blockers unless you fork out for a set of conti headlamps.

Your handbook should show you where the stickers need to go.

These attachments might help

Cheers

SE Lux models have "Active" Bi-Xenon headlights, there is a control you can set for RH Traffic (left had drive to you an me) ... its detailed in your owners handbook, button is at the foot of the center console.

Hope it helps

This is the relevant section of the handbook if your new car does have ABL
