Driving in France, first post and first Lexus!

[Nick Blake]

Hi all, picked up my 450h (2021) yesterday and off to France tomorrow, do I need to do anything with the light settings, if so, where do I find it, I’ve searched quite hard and find very little! Loving the car after going from a Mini Cooper S Roadster 😂

Wow, what a contrast!! Must be like floating on air now 😉

There is nothing to do regarding the headlights, they cast a flat beam. 

Enjoy getting to know your new car👍

Welcome Nick.

Drive on the right and do observe the speed limits(and don`t even think of arguing with a Gendarme ) !👍🤣

Can you explain this a bit further please? I googled what you said and see some discussion about a flat beam meaning there is no requirement for headlight beam converters, however I can't find anything official which says this from the French side.

I am asking as the last time I drove in France I fitted headlamp converters, planning on going back later in the year and if I can avoid fitting them this time then all the better.

Thanks all, I popped into Lexus and was told I needed the stickers on the lights. They had rung a guy working in the Paris dealership, he suggested I fitted them but I’d rather not!

Like a dream, that Mini was fun but also scary at times! I had many options but think I’ve made the right choice 👌

I'd suggest contacting Lexus UK customer services for confirmation...
