Anyone needing to change headlight to UK configuration?

Lenny HB bellabee not resolved other issue yet.
Whilst “HeadlightHymergate” continues, for those of you with the headlight pictured, I took a look inside one.

For you to alter for Euro/UK use simply remove the plastic cap then move the lever arrowed.

It only moves about 25mm up and down so easy to do, which way I know not but obviously the opposite way to it is now !

My problem not resolved yet it's booked into J G Auto at Bognor for the 10th (they are closed next week).

As for the headlamp adjustment when I put mine in the flat beam position it gives an awful beam with a big dip in the centre. My test guy let it go through for importation but said it wouldn't pass an MOT. I will have to see if I can get a passable beam with it moved partway, otherwise beam benders for the MOT.

I’m hoping mine are going to be OK as when mine were done for import the chap that did it took it out and did something which passed then but He has left the garage now, got until next June to find out anyway.😊

Hymer
It seems Hymer and Hella seem to have problems with headlight builds. 10 years ago it was the spontaneous shattering of the nearside unit that caused so much grief and now the plastic variety are causing issues. Three hymers parked up, 2 glass headlights misted on the inside, plastic headlight with conifer bits inside, but they were all intact.

They go for stupid designer headlamps where as nearly all the other A Class manufacturers fit the standard Hella offering but that would be too sensible for Hymer.
