Xenons and Driving in Europe

[Anonymous]

Driving to Paris in a couple of weeks and have been told that the normal light deflector stickers are not suitable for Xenons.
I've done a search and some suggests that there is a lever that requires lifting up or down to change the angle of the beam on the Xenons. I've had the rubber caps off the back of the headlamp unit and can't see any lever.
Nothing in the manual !
Anyone got a picture or a really good description of what the lever looks like?

Any help appreciated

A lever? That's a new one on me. The only solution that I am aware of (short of changing the light units) is to call into a Peugeot dealer and they can (with their electronic gadgetry) convert the car to left hand drive mode. Not a easy solution in my opinion as it involves lots of planning ahead.

Hi Ron,
Saw the thing about the lever in this post which I think you commented on

Remove the lamp cover off the the back of the headlamp.
Inside you will find up on the right on the RHS a lever, push/pull the lever and it puts a flap across the top of the beam inside the lamp.
Do the same on the LHS but this time the lever is on the left.
Put the rubber covers back on.

PLEASE do this, DO NOT stick anything on your headlamps as they run so hot it will effect the plastic lens if you use the sticker.
The above is from a Tech and is 100% correct.

Hi Paul, thanks for the reply. Took the cover off but I can't see a lever. What colour is it ?

I used the stick on beam deflectors last year in Dec.

No real problems in getting them off or since.

OK I will get a message to my contact and see if he can get me a picture.
