coldel Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I just got back from going through France and Belgium, you don't by law need bulbs as far as I know (I mean you would have to dismantle the whole front of the car to get the bulb in!) All I took was a hi vis vest which I put in the glove box behind the passenger seat Warning triangle which sat in the boot Beam deflectors for the front AA do a good guide http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/overseas/general_advice.html and download this pdf http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/touring_tips/germany.pdf Also take your V5 and both parts of your driving licence.

slimjim Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Coldel is right... make sure you take your bits and bobs. I got a box of lights from eBay for a couple of quid. It's an official Nissan one, think it is for a Qashci (or what ever the hell they are) so I can wave them at the Gendarme if they pull me. Even though, as coldel says, you couldn't use them to replace the bulbs without whipping half the front end off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I took the ferry to Dunkirk and the ferry shop sold a tonne of standard bulbs etc cheap - you couldnt actually install them at the roadside but for a few quid would be worth the hassle saved if you could just point at them tucked away in the boot if you did get stopped.

lukeaJones Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 would any beam benders like these work on the 350? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Beam-Benders- ... 27bdfc3247 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Should be ok, but I am guessing. Just bought mine from Halfords. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_172996_langId_-1_categoryId_165458 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 So the beam benders work on the Zed? Going to France tomorrow and do have a set, but was only going to fit if I found myself out in the dark - which I dont plan on doing!

coldel Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Didn't put mine on whilst I was there, just had them handy in case. Just drove between 10am and 5pm whilst there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
