Masking
headlights
When the vehicle is used in a country which drives on the opposite side
of
the road to the
home country,
the
asymmetric dipped neadlights
will
dazzle oncoming
traffic.
To prevent this,
the
wedge-shaped sector on the headlight lenses must be covered
up
with
an
opaque adhesive strip.
The illustration shows
the
strip installed
for
the change
from
right
hand
to
left
hand
traffic.
