Dipping the headlights for european travel

[andygtt]

Any advice on this, I bought a universal headlight kit but have no idea how to fit it?

Been to Denmark, Germany, Holland, France a few times in mine. Never bothered. Nobody said anything. Same goes for GB badges. Spare bulbs and warning triangles I would take.

Hella 90mm dip beam units have an adjuster built into them. Just flick the adjuster.

The earlier type of H4 light needs a beam blocker sticker or similar.

Also remember that it is now the law in france and germany (and probably others) to have high vis reflective vests for each occupant.

Never bothered with the lights, but deffo worth taking the bulbs, triangle and hi vis jackets, if you breakdown and havent got these plod are not very happy.
Last years trip got stopped 4 times in various countries, not one word about the lights.

I seem to remember, you in Austria (would you like to go to the cast point sir?), me when overtaking that car whilst giving the w*nker sign, and on the top of the Mountain for "going very fast"
Roll on 18th Sept.

well not bothered with the lights... have the stickers in the car just in case tho.

Only got one high vis vest though as didn't realise needed one each but never mind.


Only issue is that the new ecu I have fitted has quite a bad missfire on very light throttle so driving through town and on the motorway isn't that pleasant..... I have bought the old ECU that runs perfectly but just wont start on the key or button, so if things get worse I will have to put that back in and push start it.

Noble headlights????? More chance of being blinded by a firefly. If, however, you have HIDs then yes, a bit of gaffer tape to block the left hand uplift is advisable.
