Does anyone know if HID lamps on the 8th gen accord can be made to dip the other way for driving on the continent? My previous car could easily be converted by taking the HID unit out and flicking a lever over. The local Honda dealer tells me Hondas have never done this. Just seem a bit surprised. Don't really want to be putting stickers on it!!
 
If you have got the 8th Gen with the HID's as standard you don't need to do anything as the beam doesn't have the raised section that you get with normal headlights.

I've just come back from Germany and didn't need to do anything with mine.

If they are aftermarket you will need the beam adjusting stickers.
 
I noticed on mine they did flick slightly but a quick spin with the screwdriver brought them both level and no problems when driving in France.

HTH
