Macan 2 Setting headlights for Europe Driving.

[Speed CAD]

Am I being daft here ?

I don’t see any method or anything in the docs to flick the headlights over. Do we go back to the days of stickers on the headlights ?

On the 1st gen Macan you set it in the Multifunction Display on the right hand side of the instrument cluster. Go to Vehicle, Settings, Exterior Lighting and there is an option for inverted lighting.
I would assume it would be the same for 2nd gen Macan.

Depends on the type of headlights, but here is an extract from 1st generation Macan manual:

As above, although, on Mrs P’s TT with LED s the handbook specifically says there is no need to make any changes for continental driving! Maybe the new LED s on tne Macan facelift are the same?

Hmm,

My car doesn’t have that option in the settings or manual, so maybe LED lights don’t need tinkering with.

My Mac' Sept 2016, has the standard headlights, (bad mistake). Officially to take it into Europe, it means getting down and dirty, by phisically removing the headlights, and manually switching them over. But it's been abroad, several times, from purchasing it, and I've never done the switchover. Very little use in the dark. And no flashing angry oncoming motorists. lol.

And from the good to know app.......


“Bi-Xenon headlights without dynamic cornering light (PDLS/PDLS Plus) cannot be converted for left or right-hand traffic. The light distribsution of this headlight type is homogeneous on both sides of the road, which prevents dazzling of the oncoming traffic.”

Yep my 911's like that but can never be bothered.. Annoyed the Italians at Stelvio though!
