driving in europe

has anybody been abroad with there rrs yet, and done anything about the headlight switching ??? books says lightc can be changed, but seems very much of a performance. as rrs has self levelling suspension, no load adjusting availability for lights .
never has any trouble abroad yet with previous cars, but would like to be prepared

Just completed 800 miles down to St Tropez arriving after dark with no problems, have always put sticky labels on my previous cars but as none available yet and the lowering instructions seemed a bit daunting, decided to give it a go. At the end of the day Xenons dazzle in the UK so I didnt think it would be a major problem, and luckily we didnt see anyone veering off the hairpins near La Garde Freinet! Only saw one RRS on the journey and that was less than a mile from our house here! Drivers in Paris were very interested beeping and putting thumbs up, at least I think thats what it was? Will post a photo soon of RRS in St Trop.

Tiny little levers at the back of the units, simply switch them over. Driving abroad especially in France can bring hefty fines if lights dazzle, not worth the risk for a 2 second job.

head light switching,

BN, thanks, but does this mean removing the front grill, and then removing each headlight ???? to operate lever .tried a dummy run, but felt lots of resistance in trying to remove the headlight unit

I've had my headlights in millions of bits and I've seen the levers. They say they can be switched in place been seen as you can get the grill and both headlights off in 40 seconds you might aswel take them off.

I'll be doing my other headlight tomorrow hopefully is I'll take some photos.

I'm also driving in France later in the year.
