Yeah, but you would definately if someone from abroad drives without them on your oncoming lane, wouldn´t you? This is not to fulfill any useless law, but not to blind the oncoming traffic, since you would illuminate their faces. Would just be fair to the other road users to fit them, right?

You can get them on nearly any ferry or the train station in Folkestone, wherever you are travelling from.

Standard Sagaris headlights won't blind much, so unless you've got some special HID upgrade, and as long as it is summer time I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe carry some of those stickers in case someone official points it out (available from Halfords/Eurotunnel terminal/ferry shop etc.). Alternatively a roll of black insulating tape would do the same job. The big question is, where exactly to apply, you'll only be able to get it approximately correct.

I converted a tuscan from rhd headlights to lhd headlights. First I thought you have to buy lhd lenses to replace the rhd lenses. it was a lot easier and cheaper than that. You can turn the light from the inside for about 10 degrees to make it lhd. it took me 15 minutes. I presume it is the same for sagaris.
