111R Beam Benders

Where should i put these so no to piss of the french on my planed road trip?

Most people I know don't bother... three of us got pulled for not having front number plates by the gendarmes at the channel tunnel and they never asked anything about changing the headlight beams.

On the basis that the lights are very close to the ground and they emit less light than a candle, I can't see its ever going to cause any problems.

Why no number plates??!!

Well mine...errr... got broken a couple of days beforehand, but I can't speak for anyone else

Hi, I just asked the same question on SELOC by chance and the common concensus was don't bother! I also asked about the sense in carrying headlight bulbs around when there was about as much chance of changing them at the side of the road as Elvis making a comeback and the feeling was that you should carry them anyway!

On the continent i do carry a light bulb pack (its secreted in a hideaway in the front of my S1 along with the tyre sealant) and a warning triangle

You don't need beam benders, take the cover off and flip the cut off, doesn't take all that long, can be done with the wheels on.
