Headlamp, Changing From RHD To LHD, Halogen Headlamps (From My 2013)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 18 other vehicles, including the 2016 Audi S4, 2016 Audi A4 Quattro, 2016 Audi A4, 2015 Audi S4, and 2015 Audi A4 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If the vehicle is driven in countries where the traffic drives on the other side of the road (either right-hand or left-hand traffic) where it is normally driven, both headlamp glasses must be partially masked using appropriately designed opaque cover film so that the asymmetrical low beam does not blind oncoming traffic.
There are different covers available for installing on headlamp lenses to adapt from RHD to LHD vehicles and vice versa.

Procedure

NOTE:

The cover foil has a molding (marking foil), which must be placed along the line around the headlamp lens so that it covers the asymmetrical area of the low beam.

-- Clean headlamp glasses and dry them.
