Had a quick search but couldn't find anything....

Does anyone know what I need to do to my headlights to make them suitable for driving in Europe? Obviously those big, purpose made stick on reflectors aren't going to fit the tiny headlight unit.... Do I just use a bit of a electrical tape?

If you have the later type lights (the multi-light setup). You can reach inside the wing through the access pannel and the housing itself has 2 positions... UK and EU. you can just turn to the EU setting and back again when you return to the UK... no stick-on schinnagns required.

I´m a German Cerbera Driver (with headlight conversion). There are 2 Positions one for UK and one for the other countries. But it is not nesessary the change it because the headlights are to weak to blind the other cars.

By the way, I know that there is a solution for gaz discharing lights, is it much better??
