Headlights

[EdinKent]

Hi all,

 

Does anyone know if the Fabia III uk model requires headlight adjustment for driving on the right?

 

Thanks.

For continental cars the manual recommend adjustment for left hand driving. For the incontinent I have no idea, but probably equal but opposite.

Thanks Pfaff. I'll remember "equal but opposite" for when the gendarmes pull me up

I shall speak to them while looking in a mirror...

Yes they will.

 

Are they the normal reflector ones?

They are like these Phil..

Is it altered through the stereo settings in that case then?

So, picked up the car today - very nice and happy!

Dealer says no, don't need to alter the lights as they have a flat beam horizontally. Just been outside to check as it's dark now, and yes, they do.

France here we come! .. err once I buy some breathalizers, and warning triangles, and hi-viz vests, and 6 different types of fire extinguisher... oh and not forgetting the GB (Great Buffoons) sticker, false moustaches, onions on strings, Edith Piaf Greatest Hits CD.....

Oh poop! My car is too small. Anyone got a New Model Skoda Superb L&K they fancy swapping for a brand new Fabia?? No? Meanies!

Sorry for another hi-jack, but the menu above shows an option to disable the DRLs. Is that option in the settings for the SE too? Once disabled, do you need to enable them again, or do they revert/default to "on" each time you start the engine? It would be useful to disable them now & again in certain circumstances when using the car at work. Am looking at an SE at the moment. Thanks
