Hello all, I'm in the process of importing my 987.2 from the US to the UK and had a question regarding the headlights. As I'm sure many of you are aware the headlight pattern can be adjusted for LHD and RHD in some headlights either manually or in the on board computer. As best I can tell in my US version car neither is available. I've pulled the headlights and there is no switch to be found. As a last resort before I buy another set of headlights, I thought I'd look at the beam pattern and confirm that it was a problem for the IVA inspection. To my surprise the pattern is quite symmetric and flat across the top. It doesn't seem like it would dazzle people regardless of the lane I was driving in, but since I need to pass this test the first time around I'm hoping to get a more informed opinion. Below is a picture of the pattern and a comparison to my wife's UK BMW. Looks basically the same with a minor difference in position of the cut-off. I've looked at the MOT and IVA standards and it's a bit hard to interpret but I think it might be okay...is that possible? Thanks for any input!
