It's usually 2 or 3 days back in the UK before I get round to removing my deflectors, never been pulled for it but don't know what the law is. LR bulb set will be a lot more expensive than making your own set up. MY 2013 TD4 XS Manual, Ipanema Sand. Cold Climate Pack, Spare Wheel, Side Mouldings, Armrest Pack, Rear Camera, Detachable Tow Bar, Spoiler.

If you don't have the 'european union' symbol on your number plate then you do need the GB sticker. |

Get a magnetic one, then you can take it off again when you get home.

I regularly drive to the pyrenees to visit relatives. Research such as this is vital if you want to avoid the various 'local' habits which we tend to find dangerous or unfathomable.

Don't know if you have time but I have one particular credit card (Nationwide) that has no extra charges for use in Europe and gives a better exchange rate than any bureaux de change. I used that for ALL my fuel and toll charges in France, Switzerland and Italy on my last two European trips on my motorcycle and I use it frequently when I go to Spain too for car hire, meals and fuel. There are other 'no charge for Europe' cards availible - The Post Office do one as well. http://www.postoffice.co.uk/credit-card

I would say that if you were involved in an incident in the UK and your car was fitted with headlight deflectors, you would have a seriously difficult chat coming up with the Police and your insurer. Same goes for not having them when in France. Whereabouts unknown stop going to follow stream until reach civilisation stop message ends |

I know of a number of people who often pop over the water and have fitted Head Light Defectors and leave them on all the time, this also includes MOT time where it passes. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior |
