These converters are for adjusting your headlamps for driving on the right-hand side of the road and they adjust the beam pattern, which is different to those fitted to European left-hand-drive vehicles. When driving to the Continent, you must adjust the headlamp beam pattern to suit driving on the right so that the dipped beam does not dazzle oncoming drivers. This is a compulsory requirement in most countries. Please note that modern high-intensity discharge (HID) or xenon headlights cannot be adapted with this product. Remember to remove the converters as soon as you return to the UK.

Did you know that carrying a warning triangle in your car is a legal requirement in many countries on the Continent? In Spain, one warning triangle is compulsory for non-Spanish registered vehicles and two for Spanish registered vehicles. However, drivers of non-Spanish registered vehicles should consider carrying two triangles as, regardless of regulations, local officials may impose on-the-spot fines if there is only one. Don't get caught out; this highly reflective EC-approved model warns other drivers of potential hazards in an accident or breakdown situation and comes in a protective plastic container.

Carrying high-visibility clothing in your car is recommended good practice. The AA's highly reflective vest provides maximum visibility in an emergency situation, and should be an essential part of your car safety equipment.

This product meets the EN471 standard.
