Head Lamp Adjustment

[Guest jonathan 1968]

Hi this is my first post, actually second - I've sent this already to someone called "Little Screamer" - apologies! My query may have been dealt with on other posts - if it has please bear with me.

 

I have a C5 estate on an 06 plate which I've had for a year and am very happy with it. I took it to France last year and it was great: roomy, comfortable, ticked all the boxes. I opted not to use those Halfords light bending stickers on the headlamps although I had a set in reserve in case the local Gendarmes caught hold of me and I could then apply them with a "tres desolee"! Citroen dealers were no help with advice on this matter although Citroen UK told me that I didn't require light adjustment because they had a flat beam. My lights aren't Xenon types just ordinary ones which I got from Halfords. Could I just replace the m with Xenons and forget about light adjustment or do I need the Halford stickers?Any help would be appreciated.

 

Cheers

If you had factory fitted xenons you wouldn't need any beam benders or masks for EU driving. I have a letter from Citroen UK telling me so and I carry it with me when I go abroad. I don't know what the position is with aftermarket xenons other than they might be breaking the law in this country. For xenons to be legal, they need to be self-leveling and they also need to have permanent washers fitted. With your C5 suspension you will be OK on the first point but maybe not on the second.
