Moving to France (Headlights)

[supavillan]

Hi

I have a 2015 Berlingo (the newer version with AdBlue). I am moving to France for 6 months in March. I will need to get the "carte grise" and don't want to fail on headlights! 

Is there a switch for the headlights or will I need to pay an extortionate price to get the headlights changed? Also will they fail me if I just use deflectors rather than swap the headlights?

Thanks

My experience albeit not France but Spain. I read a comment on a subject regarding head lamps in France, so I thought I would try the method in Spain. The poster said he could get away with a trick that was very vague in its explanation due to wanting the business and not divulge to much. But I worked out what he was getting at. So remove your headlamp bulbs grind off all the locating tags so that they do not locate in postion, then slowly rotate the bulbs shining them on the wall the image will change from  ___   ___/  the raised section will move from left to right but the latter image will be hazy so there is a risk of not being accepted. Unfortunately mine was rejected (after debate between testers) in  Spain. But we are talking  about France.
