UK & EU Lights ?
Options
HI ! , recently picked up a Mondeo Estate (good for fishing tackle ) and when i read the handbook a section on lights stated that Headlights could be adjusted for EU driving using a switch ! good news as i drive in the EU about 6-8 times a year so this would save me Money not having to buy beam diverters ! 
Only thing is , it dont say where the switch is !!!!!! Doh !
So would anyone who knows please let me know ?
Its a `06 Model by the way .
Regards

From memory, its on the back of the headlight units themselves but its only on the HID headlights:
From the Ford Wiki:
Mk3 - Xenon (HID) headlamps only
Open bonnet.
Remove the front grille by twisting the 2 turnknobs.
Remove the headlamps from the car by lifting the 2 release levers and disconnecting the elec. connector.
Remove the rear cover from the lamp, by removing the 2 screws and pulling up the locking tab.
Turn the bulb alignment lever to the required position: Normal position "0" for the UK, or Travel position "T" for driving in continental Europe.
Replace the rear cover.
Refit the headlamps and front grille.
It is recommended to have the headlamp alignment checked after this procedure.
If you don't fancy doing that or don't have the option HID lights, then on the same page are instructions on where to place stick on ones.0 -
