Headlamp converters for Europe?

[dickl]

I've just bought a 63 XTR. Do I need to use headlamp beam deflectors for Europe?

I was told that on my C4 Picasso the beams were "flat" and didn't need deflectors and so I never bothered and in 7 years of France and Spain I never had any issues. 

Thanks.

Yes, I contacted Citroën UK about the same thing on my 64 plate XTR and they confirmed that I did need beam deflectors. I have just returned from France having used the RAC version which were very easy to apply and worked brilliantly.

Thanks Jay. Much appreciated.

Back in the '70's Renaults had a little lever in the headlamps to change the beam L--R as needed.Surely it would be simpler to have this than risking badly fitted/made deflectors?Some old ideas were good.

Thanks chaps.

True Ron, I had a BMW GS where you could adjust the headlight for Europe.
