Default A5 change headlights for UK roadtrip [ EUR --> UK ]

Hiya,

so i'm driving back to the UK in a week and I thought it would be pretty straight forward to filp the headlights so that I wouldn't blind drivers when I get over to the UK. Anyone know how to flip the lights so that driver / passenger are reversed?

In my buddies new A4, he has an option in MMI -> Exterior Lighting that I do not. Really want to avoid going to the dealer if I can and not driving at night is not an option.

Thanks in advance

Default Huh? I'm sure I've seen that MMI option on an S5 in the UK

but I know different markets sometimes get different MMI options, so perhaps your market has limited it to a dealer-only thing?

It's a simple plug-in and press a few buttons for a dealer, or you could probably do it with VAG-COM.

I'll let you know after Friday if new UK S5s have the option - mine's going in for PDI today!

Default MMI Settings: Touring Mode

My a5 is a US model, but because it was one of the first to come to the US when it was released, and because I ordered it directly, for some reason they didn't remove this feature in my car, and touring mode is available in my mmi settings. Touring mode is what switches the lights over. Either in exterior lighting or in your case, must just be in the car setup. Good Luck!
