Question

I've seen this on the BBS in the past but can't remember what was said. I'm going to France in a few weeks and need some beam converters and a spare bulb kit. Do Subaru dealers sell a kit or do I have to cobble up my own?

Cool

Leading on from this question, I'm going to be driving to Austria later this year and was wondering about the legality of my driving lights (I've got the prodrive ones). Does anyone know if I can use them without getting stopped by plod, (through France, Germany, Austria and possibly Italy) or will I have to keep the covers on?

Cheers,
Iain

Used a halfords set of beam converters on the way to/from Paris a few weeks back and they were fine.

Of course, the problem is they do actually reduce the amount of light on the road, and as the amount of light on offer isn't exactly dazzling to begin with.....
