European headlamp adjustment

Featured Replies

I am about to buy a 2015 Octavia Scout. I travel a great deal between Spain and UK. Can anyone advise me if the Scout headlamps can be simply adjusted between LHD and RHD positions?

Not possible to easily change Halogens; Xenons can be set to continental mode from the vehicle settings screen in infotainment.

Or the xenons switch over by themselves if you have sat nav :)

Do the halogens not allow you to manually adjust the beams like the MK2?

MK2 had levers on the back of the headlight units to flatten the beam but not on MK3 :(  'Simply Clever' ?  Didn't think to check before I upgraded mine from MK2, just assumed it would be the same, minor annoyance as I do several trips to the continent each year.  

Mk2 has projector halogens so easy to mask the beam via a manual shutter. The Uk Mk3 with halogens has reflector units so the beam cannot be adjusted in the same way.

Anyone know if the LED headlights self adjust based on GPS location like the bi-xenons do?
