    I forgot to mention he said the drivers side is kicking out the wrong way or something like that ( should kick to the left but is kicking to the right into on coming traffic)

    I'm sure there's something on the light housing to switch it back??

    Search on here for threads where people are driving in europe etc...

    i reckon that if i take the kick up off the drivers side it should pass with a flat beam then.

    look inside the unit from the rear where you change the bulb. its a tight squeeze to get your hand in. remove the black plastic cover and inside barely visible is a white lever. flick it and that should do the trick.
