Mazda CX5 Sport NAV - Bi xenon Headlight adjustment

[streaky]

Does anyone know if you can adjust the UK spec bi xenon headlights for driving in europe, i.e, flatten the beam. I need to know, because if I can't, i need to buy european spec headlights at 1000!

Thanks,

Streaky

I don't think you need to adjust modern B1 xenon for Europe

Thanks Xtrailman. I serve in the Army and we have to register our cars in the respective country, which then requires the cars to be tested, with the headlight beams "flattened"; I know you can adjust them in BMWs, VWs, Mercedes and Skodas, as friends of mine here have had to do so. Thanks anyway

Really? I am driving to the South of France in 2 weeks and have headlight adapters for the my Sports' Bi-Xenon headlights!

As I said I don't think you do, so I'm not certain, but searching Google gives very conflicting answers.

I would email Mazda customer services.

Flatten the beam? You mean to equalize the horizontal height of the cut off for both left and right? If you are asking how to do this, may I ask you why? The driver side head light is always aimed lower than the passenger side to prevent glare to on-coming traffic.

Because he's going from UK (drive on the left) to Europe (drive on the right). DOH!

Contacted Mazda UK, they told me to contact Travel Spot. I have spoken to them and they have confirmed you DO have to run headlight adapters!
