Coupla things

How do i go about making the headlight shine the other way. I am driving in europe in a coupl weeks so i need to change the direction they shine. Headlight masks do not work, i have xenons.

Secondly, how can i change my digital speedometer to display in km/h??

if you take off the covers on the back of the headlights, there is a little lever in each one (with a whitish coloured end) - you just push it up or down I think, to change the light throw - there is a thread on here somewhere

re the digital speedo - if you have sat nav like me, it's reeeeeeeally easy to change in the menu, but if you don't, I'm not 100% sure where you change it (obviously it's in the OBC somewhere). does the manual not tell you

What car do you have

If it is R53 then OBC needs to be changed from MPH to KPH by dealer. I have just had the reverse (KPH to MPH) done on my LHD GP. NOTE - this changes everything to imperial / metric (depending on which way you are going) including distance traveled etc.

If it is R56 then I believe that thsi can be changed by the owner and details are in the owners manual - at least that is waht I have been told.

R56 digital Speedo can be changed to KPH via going onto your MENU and settings, then changing it that way...

As for the Headlights...what 118 said

You don't happen to know the setting for these lights do you?? the headlights only appear to move very very slightly on the clicks, but i still want it right.

got your number

I'm not too sure I'm afraid - I was trying to find out too, but no one on M2 seemed to know your dealer might be able to tell you, or a quick email to MINI customer services even

When I did this on my Volvo S 80 with Xenons the bulb unit only moves very slighly - just a slight change in throw. I am guessing that the MINI is the same.
