Volkswagen Golf Mk7 Service & Repair Manual: Changing headlights over from driving on left to driving on right, LED headlights

This page covers the left-to-right conversion for full LED headlights on the Volkswagen Golf Mk7, completing the set of traffic-side beam adjustments.

If a right-hand drive vehicle is driven in a left-hand drive country, or vice versa, the headlights must be converted. This is necessary in order to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic with the asymmetric low beam headlights.
  Note
The conversion from driving on left to driving on right, or vice versa, is performed by means of the infotainment system.
It is only permissible to make use of the headlight converter for a short period of time. When permanently driving in the respective country during a longer period of time, suitable headlights need to be installed according to valid specifications.
