Evening all,

Had a quick Google but didn't find anything obvious...

The old man is taking his Mustang abroad some point soon and doesn't know if there is an OBC setting or something on the back of the headlights that allows the headlights to switch from RHD beam pattern to LHD?

Neither of us are near the car at the moment while it's in for a check up, so we can't go out and have a look smile Standard UK xenon spec.

Thanks.

Unless they have changed the beam pattern for RHD Mustang specifically for the UK then it shouldn't be a problem as since 2005 (or earlier) the Mustang comes with flat beams

When I took my 2015 Mustang to Europe last year I asked my dealer about setting the headlights for driving on the wrong side of the road but they didn't have any info and said that on modern cars like the Mustang the headlight is behind the front glass and can't be adjusted using the traditional strips.

I did think of just taking some generic strips with me so that I could at least fit something if I was stopped (they wouldn't have worked).

As it happens I was a summer holiday and I was not intending to drive at night.

The flat beam comment above is reassuring.
