Headlamp Beam Adjustment For Continental Driving

[Kerrin]

Hi,

I have an 07 Prius and will shortly be driving in France, Germany etc.

I am aware that in general, cars require headlamp adjustment so that the LHD beam doesn't dazzle other RHD drivers.

Some cars seem to have a nifty switch behind the headlamp covers.

My questions are:

- Does the Prius have such a switch?

- Can I just use the dashboard headlamp angle adjustment to steer the beam downwards?

Failing this, I guess it's another 6 quid to Halfords or whatever for the stick on diffusers. Any advice appreciated.

i have 05 prius and i was driving in France last year without any problems.

the dashboard headlamp angle adjustment is more than enough for this purpose.
