Information 

For driving in countries in which vehicles drive on the other side of the road, it is important to convert the headlights as soon as you cross the border.

The dipped beam headlight then lights symmetrically so that oncoming traffic is not dazzled.

When you return to your own country, reset the headlights to 0  .
