Hi
I am newish "FUN" member & this is my first post.
I have a new Hymer Exsis I, with led headlights.
How do you adjust the lights for driving on the Right.
I can't see any instructions in the Hymer manual. I don't think the standard stick on patch I used on my previous swift will work with these lights.
Thanks
Phil (WildBunch)

Good question. I'll be interested to see if there is a good answer. The base vehicle will be made for both markets, so there must be some provision for the different dipping requirements.
Frankly, I don't bother. Just avoid driving at night. I think the important thing is not to dazzle on-coming traffic. You may be able to adjust the dipped beams further downwards.

We've been driving on the continent for donkeys years and have always had a set of stick on beam deflectors in the glove box. Never actually stuck them on and never been asked to, but just in case we have a set.

Have you actually got LED headlamps or have you got the LED DLR's and LED indicators with the Hella projector halogen headlamps?

If it is the LED headlamps, sorry I can't help.

If they are the ones with the halogen headlamps, take the rubber cover off the back of the lamp and you will find a small lever, just move to it's alternative postion. This will set them for flat dipping.

Is that like this one Lenny @Lenny HB ?

Hi All.
Thanks for your prompt responses so far. Whilst I don't normally travel at night in the MoHo, it would be nice to know.
I will find the bulb type & confirm the light cluster style later today, after I have returned from the dentist.
Phil.

Hi.
Actually it was 2.30. The pain was in my wallet.
The headlight cluster is the same as the in the second photo. The manual describes the Low/ Main beam as a bulb type (H7-12v/55w).
I don't think it is adjustable, but will check with the dealer / tech department.
Thanks.
Phil.

Yes they are adjustable I have the same units in my van. If it's a UK dealer they won't have a clue.

Hi.

I did get a positive response from the dealer's service dept ( Lowdhams) , who confirm they are adjustable.
Thanks
Phil.
