E70s, with halogen lighting

[sapphireblack]

Given an AC recharge will be significantly cheaper via a Groupon voucher at an ATS facility, i wouldn't personally be asking a franchised dealer to do it.

yes, just had my e53 4.4 done at ATS Gloucester via sapphireblack heads up re Groupon.

Drove at night in France for the first time last night. Lights were adjusted before we left. All it actually does is put a blasted great shutter across the near side high/low beam which makes the lighting very odd. The off-side works as it does in the UK. It’s a bit like driving with a headlight out.

I thought Xenon were flat, neutral beams not needing adjustment for RHD traffic, as discussed here. Surprised you bothered, unless I'm missing something?

The beams are flat, however I was ‘advised’ by a colleague who lives out here that certain of the Gendarmerie take exception to them not being adjusted and there’s an on-the-spot fine. I wish I hadn’t bothered to be honest asI’m in deepest rural France where I need all the light I can get!

Well, certain of the gendarmarie, can indeed be officious, to say the least. I've had a few run-ins over the years. Probably just because i'm English.

It begs the question how they would know about your headlights though?
