UK headlights naturally deflect to the nearside, fitting deflectors wont change it to the offside, it just stops the light going to our nearside or into the eyes of drivers on the continent. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

Make sure you geta SANEF toll thingy, saves time and hassle at the French tolls.

I've done two trips this year, 2500 miles to Italy via Germany & Swiss, then 200 miles to the Alps, no problem.

Other than that, sit at 90mph for hours and you'll be fine.

Any reason why you wouldn't use the beam adjustment lever in the headlights rather than buy and fit beam deflectors? 

Thought that was only on xenon's? Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
Evoque SD4 Dynamic Lux Auto
Present: Audi A3 S Line.

The deflector lever is standard on all MY 13, xenon or no. Fuji White MY13 SD4 Dynamic
gone: Rimini Red MY10 td4_e XS

The handbook is not to clear but only Xenons have a lever to change the beam. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

The SANEF toll's great, saves all the phaffing with change and if like me, your wife is in the rear with your child, there's no strretching over or worse geting out the car to pay the ticket.

On the bill, it's the same as it would have been had you been paying it road by road.

The only upfront cost is 20 Euros, plus a 6 Euro annual fee.

Also depending on which month you're in France, eg July & Aug. As the queues are large, it allows you to fly through them

Used it twice this year and once last.

All good, makes sense if you're in France often.

Cheers
Phil
