HI Everyone
Taking my camper Shirley to france on it's maiden trip abroad, iv'e noticed that you are required to have headlamp adaptors are these easy to come by? and fit.

I've got adaptors on my foreign vehicle. I should get some RHD headlights, really. :wink:

But yeah, Brickwerks is the place for these.

Insulating tape all the way!! It is one of those things you must always save to do in the queue for the ferry... my lucky old dad was able to kill a lot more time than me as in those days he got to kill a good 30mins painting the lights yellow as well!!! Ooooh the fun! :D and how cool did dads Cavalier look with yellow lights :D :D (which he always left on for about a month, as if to say yessss I took my sri abroad this year! ooh the 80s wear your lifestyle on your sleeve) :D
