I'm off to drive in that funny world on t'other side of the road in afew month, so being the prepared chappy that I am, I thought I'd tryto find how the headlamps on my E36 are aimed to the left, and how toswitch them to aim to the right.The manual is no help "refer to BMW garage" etc etc.Looking at the headlamp from the front, I really can't see how itmanaged to create the wedge of light to the left, the whole dippedbeamed unit looks identical either side of the centre line.Is there a way of re-aiming them as I've seen with many other cars, oram I reduced to a bit of dark sticky tape and driving with the bit oflight left in the middle?Dodgy.
