Thanks for the link, but I am a member of the Saabscene forum - and you are, as you say, "a bit late to this topic" by nearly three years :)

The answer is that, certainly on the earlier models, as you know, you can adjust the lights up & down yourself with an allen key or a screwdriver, but what you can't change is the assymmetric flip up to the left (for the UK) to the right (for the continent). However, a recent post added to the same topic is some information regarding remodelling the metallic blind inside the lamp which gives the flip-up. Unfortunately, this could be a bit of a one-way street unless you have some spare headlights! Simply adjusting them down is not ideal, particularly in the winter, as you can't see enough of the road. I eventually decided to use the round Eurolites adapters, which require no headlight adjustment, they just take out the flip-up thus avoiding irritating foreign motorists.

However, since posting the original topic, I have moved abroad permananetly and have solved the problem by buying some used LHD xenons from Germany via Ebay - not cheap! I would strongly suggest you go the same route. The other option is to get some adapters & leave them on permanently, although it is a moot point as to whether this would be allowable for the french equivalent of the MOT.
