Title: Headlamp convert for France
Post by: Just245 on 04 August 2022, 13:35
Hi, My first enquiry on the site, what’s the best way to adapt the Headlamps on my Golf 7.5 GTI Performance
for driving on the Right through France and Spain ?

Through the radio you can just switch it to left hand drive and it will change your lights for you, takes about 1 minute

Not sure if you can change the dials to Km/H though, maybe someone else knows how to though.

On the head unit, if you go into vehicle settings, then lights, that's where travel mode is, choice of LH or RH traffic.

For kmh on the speedo, go to vehicle settings again, then units, then change the speed to kmh.
This just changes the digital reading to kmh, the outer ring will still be in mph.
You can also change the distance to km in the same place.

Funny story about that (Not!)

I run my car's distance in km as I have the satnav in metres, this means the trip and odo is in Km, took my car into dealer for it's first MoT... guess what they registered my car's mileage on the database thinking it was in miles even though it says Km next to the number, luckily I spotted it as apparently you only have a few days to make changes to the register before it becomes permanent..... red faces all around at the dealer, they also had to change all of the service record as that was wrong, at first they really didn't believe that they had made this mistake and took a bit of convincing.
