2006 D3 HSE with adaptive lights. Easy to change direction with lights in situ. Admittedly had to take them out first time to visualise exactly what I was looking for, but once you have worked it out and moved the lever up and down a few times you get the feel for the travel. Pushing the lever down for Europe is easy and you get a subtle feel for the end stop.....about 15-20mm or so travel. Pushing back up to UK meets with a little more resistance and as it feels a bit flimsy there is a reluctance to push too hard.
Note:- the grey caps turn only about again 20mm until the 'sticky out bit' aligns with the very subtle arrow on the light casing. The drivers one is easy as the lock-unlock indicator is at the top, whilst I have made my own marks on the top of the N/S cap to aid easy location in future.
I have average sized hands and did not feel it was tight at all.
Feel very confident it can be done just before getting on the crossing to France. (as previously mentioned, don’t lift your bonnet if your on the train.....I did and got a right telling off  )
Hope that helps

Hi guys..
Last year, (read banking holiday), we went to UK from Sweden.
We had checked this thread, and found that it was "dead easy" to change
the lights from RHD to NHD (Neutral Hand Driving).
I guess that I have rather normal handsize.. 9½..
It is not really a "changeover" of lightpatterns, but merely a "flattening" of the pattern.
If You look at the normal pattern. You have a significant "step"
on the projected light towards the curbside. (Shines further away)
When You do the "NHD" manouver, the lightpattern becomes totally flat, so
You don´t blind the people on the offending side..
Best regards
