I spend about half of my year in France and half in the UK so will need to select 'travel mode' for driving on the right. I have looked at the 'exterior lighting' section in the MMI but could not find any reference for changing the xenon headlights from RHD to LHD. Can anyone please help.

In MMI 'Exterior Lighting' settings you may see options for:

• Coming Home
• Leaving home
• Auto headlights
• Daytime run lights
• Headlamp converter

The 'Headlamp converter' option is what you want. Its a toggle between ON/ OFF.

As you've already accessed the menu then i suspect your vehicle either a) is not able to do it or b) its not enabled yet.
If its not enabled it may be worth googling the 'green menu' to see if it can be done. Or find someone with VCDS for a better examination.

Sorry, not much help there really!

Following on from my previous post regarding 'travel' setting for headlights from RHD to LHD, Audi Stratford, the dealership I bought the car from, have responded to my enquiry saying that with the xenon headlights, the beam is 'flat' and doesn't require adjustment for driving on the right since it can not dazzle oncoming drivers. Can anyone confirm this? If it is the case, then the absence of 'travel' setting makes sense.

Hmm. Interesting. I had a search to see and the answer is very grey!
I had a quick look at the 2018 A5 manual on line. No note in there at all regarding headlight operation for driving on the continent. I'm gonna presume your fancy lights on the B9 model don't need it!
