Mk3 Estate imported to France - headlight query

Featured Replies

Hello all,

Newbie alert - so please go easy on me 🙂

I bought a UK Mk3 Focus Estate here in France. The previous owner used eurolites stickers to get the car through it's 'controle technique' (closest thing to MOT). However, I'm not a fan of eurolites and would prefer to longer term solution. Is there a way to adjust the direction of the beam (as there was in my old Mercedes) or do I need to buy new hardware? If it's the latter, any recommendations please?

 

Thanks.....Mark



welcome

If it has xenon's you can simply change them over to LHD.

Though as it's already got lens stickers, I assume it's standard halogen lights.  In which case you just need to fit a pair of LHD halogen lights instead.  Not sure how common the Mk3s are in France but over here it'd be cheap & easy to pick up a set from a breakers yard.

Not sure about the Mk3, but I never bothered on my Mk2 when I brought it out to France permanently.  Never had any issues and didn't get flashed by oncoming drivers (except maybe when carrying a heavy load that pointed the front upwards).  I would suggest as above, buy a set of LHD lights from a scrapyard if they are normal halogen ones.  There are loads for sale on Leboncoin, though the Mk3 ones look quite expensive.
