C5 Headlamp Adjustment

[Darners]

Planning a trip to France in the near future and as wondering if I needed to put some headlamp convertors onto my C5 (2009)

Non Xenon,

Read loads of conflicting reports, some saying that you need to get a letter from Citroen to say you dont need to use them !!!!

Any help appreciated

I put beam correctors on my standard headlamps (not retina burning projector lamps !) last year and they worked as they should, they didn't melt to a messy blob, civilisations did not crumble, empires did not fall, and everything was fine. I peeled them off afterwards and only needed a little cleaning to restore everything to standard. I believe the usual work around is to wind the lamps down using the height corrector dial by the steering wheel. None of the above applies to 'projector' lamps !

MMMmm, I too am considering a visit to the Tours area this year, but the Exclusive does not have manual adjusters.

Cars with hydraulic suspension won't have manual adjusters as they are just to compensate for variations in loading and the hydromagical suspension does that all on its own.

Yes, but what to do when driving to France? Brother-in-law uses stickers on the lenses.

i'll be using 'old skool' tech....Black tape or some bits of vinyl i've got lying around...up against a wall and sticking where i 'think' it won't dazzle, at least it looks like you've made an effort

at least with the old C5 you can use the fogs with sidelights, not much worse than blanking the dipped ones and it still looked like dipped were on
