Set headlights for driving on the left

Post by Cannondale » Mon Jul 30, 2012 3:22 pm

I am sure I have read on here hat the head lights can be adjust for driving in France Etc. by just moving a leaver, but I can not find the post.

I have looked on the back of the lights and there is a round thing about the size of a 50p coin this turns about quater of a turn. I can not see anything moving in the head light though.

Is this the adjuster?

We re off to the Alps on Wednesday and I like to keep the French coppers happy if I can.

I only have a US PDF of the manual, but page 153 is mentioned on the UK version (which I don't have) as being where to look for guidance.  Supposedly there's a one inch dia cover above the dipped beam headlight which has the lever underneath it.

Thanks found it now on page 155, been through the book twice as well. It is not even in the headlight section >:(
