Xenons unsure if LHD or RHD
« on: September 10, 2016, 03:09:58 pm »
I've just got some Xenons for my Golf but I'm unsure if they are LHD or RHD ones.

The part numbers are
1K6 941 032
1K6 941 031

Could any confirm please?

If they are LHD, I've heard there is a tab switch to switch them. If so, where is this tab switch and how do I adjust them?

Its pretty straight forward, inside each xenon projector unit there is a metal tab off to the outside (you can see them from the outside if you look carefully), you simply need to flick these the opposite to what they are right now, pop the rubber caps off (and the plug if needed) and carefully with a screwdriver/or finger if you don't have sausages like me) flick the tab up/down

Thanks for replying.

I can see there are metal tabs on both sides in the xenon project unit. If I flick the tab up on the right hand side, the tab on the left hand side goes down. Which side should I be adjusting?

Also do you know what is UK (up or down). I'm not sure if someone has made the adjustment before.

The tab adjuster thing in the headlight is to get rid of the kick off on the beam image so instead of kicking off the the near side it just makes the beam image a straight line, so if u was to take the car to Europe u wouldn't dazzle oncoming cars if that make sense
