Default Headlight alignment

Does it need adjusting if I take my S to France?
I'm assuming the standard stick on adjusters aren't going to work on HID lights??
Any ideas?

Off to France myself this summer. Do I just need to pick up some head light stickers from my local dealer or is there a better place to purchase them from?

I understood you do legally need them ,

I put some of those stick on deflectors rather than risk pissing off the locals / gendarmes , i knew i would be doing some serious numbers through France so didnt want to antagonise the situation or give them an excuse .

You don't need anything with xenon lights as the bulb is directed enough already.

Can anyone else confirm this? I'd also not like to wind up any armed police

If you go to Europe for less than 90 days then you do not need any headlamp convertors.

In any case, the xenon (gas-discharge) units on the S2000 have a horizontal cut-off with no kick-up, so there's nothing to convert, even if you want to.

Eh? Mine don't - there's a very obvious kick up to the left. Park up facing a garage door and it's definitely there...
