If you are driving and need headlamp converters to avoid dazzling other road users then look no further. Whilst driving in France or any other mainland EEC country you will require to convert the headlamp beam from your vehicle. (car, van, HGV truck or motorbike)

 

As you may be aware when driving in France etc your headlamps will be pointing towards the oncoming traffic and will be dangerously dazzling to other road users. It's obvious why you need them at night as your UK vehicle headlamps will be pointing forwards and to the left so you don't dazzle other roads users in the UK.

 

It is against the law even during the hours of daylight not to have them fitted. Even if you are just visiting France for a very brief visit getting off the ferry or going through the Channel tunnel early in the morning and returning during daylight hours you can still be issued with an on the spot fine.

 

The French police will on random days sit on the docks pulling over car after car and issuing on the spot fines to all UK cars drivers without them fitted. The fact that it is daylight will not save you. People often think I'll fit them when I get there, please remember to fit them before you roll off the ferry.

 

Also make sure that you use good quality ones not the cheap ones sold on auction websites where the glue is poor. Again we know of people who have bought cheap poor quality ones and have had one off after driving over a bump and they have been fined by the police even though they clearly have one still on and a glue mark showing where the other one was!

 

It is always best to go with the best quality headlamp converters as an on the spot fine will just ruin your day, and of course your insurance can be invalidated if your car is not road legal and is involved in an accident..
