Headlight Deflector On Rx300

[Grandpa Al]

I'm hoping to go to France later this year. I'm up to date on what I need to take but I need advice on headlight deflectors.

Do I need them on my RX300LE(2005) and how do I fix them if I do? There are no guides on the headlight. I would welcome any advice.

I was advised by Lexus that all I needed to do on my RX350 was to turn off the AFS. No deflectors are needed.

Below is the text of the advice I had from Lexus UK (in English and French in case you want to print it out to show a French policemen if you are stopped).

Dear Sir

Thank you for your further email.

I can confirm that the HID (High Intensity Discharge) headlamps on the RX 350 do not need to be
converted for travel on the continent.
The set up of the headlamp is such that the light shines in a horizontal flat beam which has no kick up and as such is not dazzling to drivers of oncoming cars.

As you have suggested, we would recommend that the Intelligent Adaptive Front-lighting System (I-AFS)

is switched off when travelling on the continent.

Yours sincerely

Monsieur

Merci pour votre plus email.

Je peux confirmer que les HID (High Intensity Discharge) phares sur le RX 350 n'ont pas besoin d'être convertis pour les
voyages sur le continent. La mise en place du projecteur est telle que la lumière brille dans un faisceau plat horizontal qui n'a pas de coup de pied et en tant que telle n'est pas éblouissant pour les conducteurs venant en sens
inverse des voitures.

Comme vous l'avez suggéré, nous recommandons que le système frontal de l'éclairage adaptatif intelligent (I-AFS) soit éteint
lorsque vous voyagez sur le continent.

Cordialement
