Volkswagen Golf Mk7 Service & Repair Manual: Changing headlights over from driving on left to driving on right (gas discharge headlights)

This page covers the reverse conversion — left-to-right — for gas discharge headlights on the Volkswagen Golf Mk7, needed to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic when crossing traffic conventions.

If a right-hand drive vehicle is driven in a left-hand drive country, or vice versa, the headlights must be converted. This is necessary in order to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic with the asymmetric low beam headlights.

It is only permissible to make use of the headlight converter for a short period of time. When permanently driving in the respective country during a longer period of time, suitable headlights need to be installed according to valid specifications.
