There's a lever on each headlight that, behind the black rubber cover, that cuts the upsweep of the dipped beam pattern for driving on the wrong side of the raod. One lever goes up & the other goes down - it's in the hand book!   ;) :y

New for France - been told French Police are stopping UK drivers.
Not 100% sure but the fine is on the spot over £100.00 ????


Anyone driving in France from the 1st July 2008 is now required to wear a reflective jacket (e.g. yellow hi-viz jacket or vest) when leaving the vehicle in the event of an emergency.

The new law applies at any time of the day or night and affects drivers of all types of vehicle. The safety jacket must be accessible from within the vehicle and should be put on before exiting the vehicle.

Failure to obey this new rule could result in a fine  :-/

Plus still need warning Tri-angle.

HID bulbs NOT required, as not a 'user changable' item according to the glovebox manual in the car (bit like Audi rear bulbs) ;)

(Which goes against an EU directive that all bulbs must be replacable with a set time by the roadside with no special tools).
