Zafira Headlight adjustment UK to Europe.

Anyone know to change the headlight beam for driving in UK to France.
I can see the adjustment wheels, how many turns does each light need?

uk headlamps dip to the left but continental ones dip right so you need to
fit stickers to the lenses to correct the beam pattern this is the only way
on a zafira there is no adjustment fitted by vauxhall to change r h d lights
to l h d lights the adjuster 'wheels' will not help

hope this helps

Light adjustment for driving on the right isn't really anything to do
with where the lamps /shining/, it's to do with the pattern each lamp
makes.

Modern lamps kick up to the left (in the UK) to light the hedge and
cyclists [1]. No amount of swiveling is going to fix that.

You can either mask off the bit that does the deflection, or better, fit
some stick on prismatic beam benders.

[1] And door mirrors when they're passing you on the motorway.

Vauxhall list plastic headlamp protectors for continental driving that mask
the kick up to the left. see www.vauxhall.co.uk
