All,

What's the protocol for taking a 400h on the roads of Europe regarding headlights, and that Auto light thing AFS?

Do I need to put little black triangles on the headlights?, or just avoid driving at night, or can I tell the car I'm driving on the right and it re-configures the left right modes etc????

Anyone have any experience of this?

Cheers

Jon

if you come for vacation i would do no changes to the lights. but if you like to be sure i can do some telefone calls and find out for you.

lexus do sell headlight beam reflectors to change the beam pattern for mainland europe

I took the RX to the alps recently.

The advice from the dealer was:

1) use our stick on beam "obliterators"
2) turn off the auto headlamp movement

in the end, I actually used the round halfords light converters - they gave more light - as I was also worried about the headlamp washer dislodging the tape.

It is a bit of an omission to not have a simple lever to flick though! Im sure it would be pretty straighforward with the auto levelling and adjustment that it has already.

Enjoy your trip.

Travel on the Continent regularly & have never altered my lights for years:simply use them responsibly.

You can get a fine in France for not having headlight beam reflectors fitted even in Daylight.
I go twice a year with my 1.7 tonne caravan and RX400h ( pulls like a dream and 22 MPG over 100o miles)

Must buy some

Never did like the French, we skipped to Belgium as fast as we could, then Germany and on to Austria.

400h was flawless, Sat Nav 100% on the money an absolute breeze.

Touched 133 on Autobahn, it wouldn't go any faster than that.

Wanted to drop by Nurnburg Ring on the return journey for a laugh, but is only open on weekends and we travelled on the Friday.

Cheers
