I'm trying to set my headlights for my trip to the alps this weekend.

I found this post:

But it doesn't help with 2nd gen xeons.

Anyone know how to do it?

if you feel round the back of the unit, there is a small gap, just big enough for a few fingers.

If you feel in there, you shoudl feel a small lever which you can click from side to side. Simply flick it the opposite way to which it is now and you're done. Of course, on the return journey, just flick it back the other way for the UK

Is the lever white by any chance? I've had a look and thats the only 1 I could reach & it does appear to move?

I'm in the same boat, need to switch my R56 xenons over for a trip to Europe.

On my last car a Golf there was a lever.
On the R56 only the white lever although it does not seem to move, looks like the end of the plastic is designed to have a something put into it to make it easier to change.

Funny thing is if you look at page 96 in your handbook it mentions using a stick on film.
Which I thought was for the standard lights.

But in the index at the back of the book under the heading of Xenons it said to see page 96.

Confused

Is there a BMW/Mini workshop sheet?

I think the white lever will move but only up & down, I've not taken the plunge and moved it yet, I'm gonna have to test it soon tho, I'm away on the 6th June. I've also read that they don't allow the stickers in Europe when u have Xenons
