I collected my new 07 plate Vectra on March 1st and the only question that I cannot get an answer to is the way to switch the dip beam from left to right for driving on the continent. I have been to two Vauxhall Main Dealers and cannot get an answer even after showing them page 135 of the manual (see below).
If a Vauxhall Dealer did adjust the headlights and I drive to Dover to catch a ferry, surely I am breaking the law and the same on the return.
I have been to Halfords and bought some deflectors, which list the Vectra C "facelift" and what to stick where, however with no lines on the lens to work from this is going to be fun.

Headlights when driving abroad
The asymmetrical dipped beam increases
the field of vision on the passenger side of
the lane.
This causes glare for oncoming traffic if the
vehicle is driven in countries where traffic
drives on the opposite side of the road.
Do as follows to prevent glare:
Vehicles with
halogen headlight system or
xenon headlight system, without
