I'm off to France next week and was wondering if anyone could tell me where I need to place (correctly) the headlight deflectors that are required in France. I'm driving a 2002 Omega estate cdx.
I've looked at other sites but some of the instructions seem contradictory, so if any of you have done this your help and guidance would be appreaciated. :-/

Dont need em mate......there is a switch inside the headlight that you just flick over to swap beams.....

Remember this is for HID's only!
Older headlights and projectors don't have this switch.
Driving in France you need:
1) Hi Vis Jacket for each member in the car, thats accessible from inside the car. IE not in the boot!
2) Bulb Set
3) Spare pair of glasses if you wear them
4) Warning Triangle

You need very small hands, especially on the passenger side, often its best to remove the battery.

really ? thats not going to help then, Ive got hands like shovels.
If that's the case I dont think i'll bother, do the authorities check when you get off the ferry ?? All my driving is going to be done during the day anyway.
-
Bloody French !!!
-
i drove to Amsterdam and back without adapting them, only used the lights once during a shower. Had a set of adapters in the glove box, if i was stopped i was going to say 'well there were there when i started, maybe they fell off'
Then produce the 'spare set' from the glove box

NO checks done getting off either the norfolkline dunkirk ferry or dover calais ones......

i spent 16 years driving in france in a truck i never got stopped for headlight alinement at any time and i got a few pulls by the police

Cheer guys for all the advice. i think i might just take a chance and not bother with the lights. As I said it they don't check often and we are driving only in the daytime.

Just swap 'em over at home. You're not converting the beam, just cutting the up sweep to the left off. You're perfectly legal just leaving them set symmetrical dipped beam (mine have been through the MOT left set fro Europe. :y
