Xenons in europe?

[53Juc]

Hi guys and gals,

Shooting over to Le Mans next month and I'm not too sure if I need headlamp converters as I didn't have to with my Bemmer because it had a switch on the back of lamp for European driving. However, I can't see anything like that at a glance on my 172? Any ideas wether I'm just being blind or is it just not there?

Nice one and thanks!

I assume you have to fit these converters on your lights, in order to avoid blinding others... especially with xenon headlights !

I guess the best thing is to ask your Renault dealer

Why bother, the majority of foreigners don't do it over here.

If you get flashed give them high beam, they should learn to drive on the correct side anyway

I put them on my 182, cant see them making much difference, but if the french gendarme stop you at least youve made the effort, I post up a pic on where to put them in a minute.

You can see where the adhesive is still stuck to the lamp but its still in the shape of the deflectors, sorry I havent explained that very well but youl see what I mean.

Cheers buddy, that's exactly what I needed to know.

They've made a feckin mess off your lenses though eh!?

I had those stickers on my 182 when i went t le man in 2006.

I went to Le Mans in a 182 in 06 and didn't bother with anything for the headlights. A friend took his M3 to BMW so they could adjust the beam, but seemed like a lot of effort to me, plus we didn't drive at night.

To be fair some AG tar and bug shifts it, I went to france in april and havent wiped it off yet, you dont have to use those particular brand of sticker, you know where to put them now so you could just use some electricians tape!,Strangley enoungh, Iam off to France again on thursday on a Peugeot European tour of all things so I will just put my new stickers over the old gum.!

I remember our family holidays to eurocamp in France during the 80s we had to use beam deflectors and use yellow translucent paint to paint the headlamps with, that was alot of effort.
