Changing Xenons to Continental Driving

[bubblegoose]

I've done a search & cant find the answer that I'm looking for. However if someone can point me in the right direction, I'll be forever grateful

I have a 52 Reg Cooper S & have the Xenon lights. I need to change the beam over to drive across the continent. I know you have to use the stickers for Halogen headlamps, but for the Xenon lights I believe you have to switch something or adjust something on the lamp itself?!?!

Can anyone tell me / show me how this is done?

Thanks in advance,
Dave

thanks for that....
It doesn't exactly answer my question though
I might pm RVW though cos i saw that he uses beam deflectors on his Xenons
Lets see what happens

Don't adjust the Xenons - get beam deflectors from Halfords.

As far as I am aware you CANNOT adjust the Xeons.
You need to use beam deflectors.
I have no trouble using them and nobody has flashed me when I have have been driving on the wrong side of the road
