You would just set the lights to the T setting (as if someone from the US were a "tourist" in New Zealand) and just leave them there.

The manual makes no caveat about this being a "not the same as regular" usage condition (no mention of degraded performance/quality, etc.), just that this is the opposite setting from the non-tourist setting.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

HI~~~Can anyone plz tell me for those Litronic headlight do they have different for RHD or LHD ?? I read from other forums someone says for Litronic headlight all you do is flip a switch then u can change to RHD or LHD is that true ?? coz i don't know where is the switch ~~~ Coz i am at New Zealand is RHD but i am going to buy the Litronic headlight from ebay USA so don't know will fit or not ?? so if anyone know PLZ give some help ~~~

POST 2Original post

They are different. The shop manual has specific sections about converting them for both headlight types. For the base lights it involves using "masking film". For the litronics, there is a "tourist setting" - the housing inside (past the control module/elecrical connection layer) is marked "T" and "0". 0 is the standard setting and T swaps the orientation for going to countries where they drive on "the other side" when you're feeling "touristy".

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So i can't buy from USA then put on RHD ?? but i call to USA porsche dealership they says will fit ~~~ so is that mean i have to buy from UK or some other RHD country ?? thank you very much for your help DONV !!

POST 4Original post

No, I think you can (but don't depend on just my word for this purchase!). You would just set the lights to the T setting (as if someone from the US were a "tourist" in New Zealand) and just leave them there. The manual makes no caveat about this being a "not the same as regular" usage condition (no mention of degraded performance/quality, etc.), just that this is the opposite setting from the non-tourist setting.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
