I've checked both my English and German manuals but can not find reference to this feature. I have a MY2008, E61 with Xenon's, Adaptive and high beam assist.
Does someone know if it possible and if so how. Is it something I can do while waiting for a eurotunnel, or should I do it before setting off. Cheers Greg |

Cheers Greg You don't (can't) do anything other than not use your headlights on auto, therefore disabling adaptive lights. That way the beam is spread equally across the road. |
If I recall correctly, there is an adjustment lever on the lights of the LCI cars to switch between driving on the left and driving on the right. There was a thread on here about a month ago, but I cannot for the life of me find it at the moment. You may want to do a search. Does not apply to pre-LCI, though.

I have a pre LCI E61 (Sept 2006) and it has this feature, in fact so did my E39 528 touring. |
Thakns for the ideas. I think I found the thread http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...nt+lever+lights but unfortunately it refers to cars with regular headlights.
I've had a good look in the engine bay/lights and can't find any obvious adjustments. What I'll do it drop by the dealer when I have some spare time and see of one of the service techs knows. |
GregW,
On cars with Xenon's there is usually a lever on the top of each headlight unit so that you can switch between LH and RH Drive. I have no experience with LCi's, but certainly earlier E60's, as well as E46's E39's etc all have the lever with Xenon's. Ordinary lights have to be taped over. Mike |

GregW,
I am separated from my car by about 600 miles, so this is from memory: On your photo, almost in the centre is a circular "knob" (about 3 or 4 cm in diameter??). IIRC, the tab on this knob is capable of being rotated 180 degrees. Adjacent to the tab there is an L and an R. Rotate this to suit whichever side of the road you are (supposed to be) driving on. I am subject to correction on this, but I do know that the method of operation is in my Owners Handbook, but I won't get to see that for another week. Anyone else confirm this please?? Mike |

The circular "knob" that Mike refers to is the cover for the lever.
See attached pdf for the instructions David I guess because mine's an international English and not UK specifric manual I didn't get that section. |
