I've got a new model Mondeo (2008), does anyone know if the headlights need
adjusting (or a stick-on beam bender is needed) for driving in Europe?

The manual says nothing about this and I've googled but got all sorts of
conflicting info.

TIA

Your local Ford dealers normally good for this question!

General information only....

Not all head lights necessarily do dip to left or right, so may not
need any adjustment. If they do, sometimes it might be as simple as
flipping a lever over - check at the rear of the headlight (under the
bonnet) for a lever like a plastic lolly stick, some Fords used this
method.

the main thing is to get rid of the incorrectly sided beam 'kick up' which
would normally illuminate the kerb, which is where some strategic tape or a
beam bender is the answer
