Xsara Picasso headlights - dipping

Post by rmunns »

I've just bought a late 2004 UK-spec. Xsara Picasso Excl. and now need to register it in France. This will entail getting headlamps that dip in the correct direction for here. Some cars' headlamps can be adjusted to dip either way - does anyone know if this applies to the Piccy?

Pretty sure you will need to change the lights for LHD ones - they're simple old school incandescent jobbies - and not all that great at that as they use H4 bulbs, so the dip goes off when you go to main :roll:
