Do I need headlamp converters to drive my Peugeot 208 GT in France?

I am being offered conflicting advice over headlamp adjustment when I go to France.

I have a Peugeot 208 GT (2021) with full LED headlamps. One dealer says buy convertors in Halfords but other people say they are similar to my old Cactus in that they have a “flat” beam which does not require a convertor.

The Full LED-equipped Peugeot 208 has headlamp adjuster screws (white plastic nuts) on top of the headlamp units when you open the bonnet. There is a certain adjustment level required to make then suitable for driving on the right. A dealer should be able to show you how to do this (or do it for you) but there are guides on forums/YouTube.
