Thanks for reply, I have just been to MOT centre French Controle technique, who tell me they are not Xenon, the beam does kick to the left but is still flat, but he says they will not be acceptable in France. French Citroen say they are Xenon but thyey cannot get any as they are British spec which is higher than French level and they were made for British market and there is no conversion kit! I am stuck, the replacement lamps are more value than the car would be.
