Changing the headlight alignment from right-hand to left-hand drive in the Skoda Octavia 2 FL

This article describes how to convert the low beam headlights from right-hand drive to left-hand drive on a Skoda Octavia 1Z facelift with H7 projector headlights.


First, the statements from Skoda (communicated through the authorized workshop):
"This is described in the instruction manual and can be configured via the MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication)."
Okay, but this entry only applies to vehicles with automatic headlight leveling. These are vehicles equipped with xenon headlights. Vehicles with H7 projector headlights do not have this feature, and therefore the "travel mode" setting is also missing from the Multifunction Display (MFA).
"In response to my comment about that, the next statement was: 'Then it won't work... It needs to be taped.'"
"Using tape on a plastic glass? Well, I have some concerns about that."

So, I didn't contact the vehicle manufacturer, but rather the manufacturer of the projection units.
And then I received the answer that there must be a lever inside the projection unit that allows switching the projection to symmetrical light.
So, I removed the headlight assembly (which is fortunately not a problem on the O2) and took a look. And there it was, a lever. When you flip this lever, the light actually becomes symmetrical.

See images.

Hi Bertil,

den Hersteller der Projektionseinheiten.

Who is that?

Because this side lever is compatible with the type of xenon shutter used in Audi vehicles, and therefore with Hella products.

The shutters in the Valeo Passat xenon headlights close differently (forward).

Okay, please provide the German text you would like me to translate into English. I will only provide the translation.

Looking at the first DLA in the A7, one can see how simple the function of the lever in the O3 is.

There's likely a "Z" shaped baffle for the asymmetrical light, and another that simply covers the upper part and normally disappears behind the "Z" baffle, similar to how you spread out and shift cards in your hand when playing a card game.
