Default Headlights for France

Not driven to France for a while. There doesn't seem to be any indication on blobeye headlights where to apply deflection stickers. I will probably do it with gaffer tape. So I point headlights at white wall and block off light going to left. Is that it?

I bought some stickers from Halfrauds, only 2 or 3 quid. Come with simple instructions and do the job AFAIK.

should be a dot on the lenses somewhere, and the kits have a list of vehicles and where to put them.

Do bother, the French police use those without adaptors as another easy revenue stream.
They were at Dunkerque when I disembarked on 9/7.

I`m with Alcazar on this one; easy pickings for les Flics. They will escort you to the cashpoint, or take your car. Also, you will find 99% of drivers coming towards you at night will flash you, which is pretty tiring if you are on a long journey. They will probably flash you a bit anyway, even with deflectors on.

I have some unused ones you can have for the price of postage! I purchased them and never used them. saw so many UK cars without them. Even when I was pulled for 160kph the copper didn't ask about them
