It has neither LED headlights nor headlights that can be switched over. The last car I had that could be was a 1980's Mini.
This is why I use the deflectors (which of course do not actually deflect)

I think that was one of the reasons why I did not want to fit the deflectors again as had a hell of a job removing them off the Jeep headlights after our trip in 2015.
Best way is to switch the lights on to warm them up (or if poss and it's timely) remove on a warm day, then peel them off. If there is any residual then use neat screen wash and a none abrasive cloth to remove.
Never had a problem, apart from the one time I wasn't careful about the choice of cloth and managed to scratch the plastic lenses on our MX-5 that we had at the time.
Then had to spend ages buffing out the scratches with brasso of all things.
Lesson learned.
I thought that I had read that the EU was carrying out a review of headlight glare, but it was another grouping comprising several European motoring organisations that have recently issued a report. Its fundamental conclusions are that something needs to be done. In parallel HMG announced in April 2024 that there was to be a review of headlight glare. But where that goes after 4 July is anybodies guess.

UK government launches review into headlight glare after drivers’ complaints
Campaigners welcome move as survey suggests they have become too bright and risk causing accidents
Not sure how they can resolve the issue retrospectively as it will probably cost the government or manufacturer a small fortune? I can understand going forward.I thought that I had read that the EU was carrying out a review of headlight glare, but it was another grouping comprising several European motoring organisations that have recently issued a report.

This is great thank you.
How did you find the site as its the same site we have booked for August.
I will keep a note of the passports being stamped, on the past trips they always have but I dont want it to be this time its missed.
Hi Martin 81mk
We found the site very good, like a lot of French sites it is split into small areas with hedges in between we had a pitch in an area of 4, all had the individual sheds attached with private washroom, fridge, wash up sink etc. Also had our own tap and drain, hook up was same as England On arrival we had to wait for our pitch and there is a dedicated waiting area opposite the entrance. The site operated a bracelet system when we were there, and you load money onto your bracelet, and pay using the bracelet in the bars, restaurant shop etc The pool complex is excellent, we were there last week in August first week September 23, and the pools were busy the first week, much quieter the second week. the site is in a quite built up residential area, and the only downside for us was that you need to drive to get to shops , beach etc, but is easy to stay on site, there is plenty for youngsters to do, horse riding, kids club etc. If you want to leave the site the town of Auray is worth a visit, they have a llarge open air street market on Mondays in the centre, and the pretty port area down the hill , of St Goustan is worth a visit it has pretty half timbered houses and plenty of places to eat, the ice cream shop on the bridge is good too. Auray has a large Super U supermarket, and a large LeClerque supermarket opposite, also a Lidl round the corner, both the supermarkets sell fuel, there is also an excellent Pharmacy in the Super U area,there is also a supermarket that sells fuel in Baden itself.
Be aware that the gas cannisters in France do not fit UK connectors, so make sure you take enough with you.
On the site we ate in the restaurant and used the take away, both were good value,as were the drinks in the bar. Like most of the French sites we have visited they make the recycling easy, with the large coloured recycling bins easy to acess. It is not a site we would go back to, not because there is anything wrong with it, apart from the location, this year we have gone back to a previous site, that leads directly on to a beach and is much quieter with less facilities, further around the coast, purely our personal choice, if I can help with anything else you need to know you are welcome to PM me.

We like La Falaise in La Turballe. The site is right on the beach and across the road is Super U with a service station. The site has an indoor pool with a small outdoor restaurant. OH and the dogs love it there as roll out of bed onto the beach it is that close.
This is amazing information thank you. I looked when booking the location not being close to a beach. I think if everything goes well in August we will be looking at Italy and have found one right on the beach. I am going to take all the information you have shared and start planning. Thanks again.
You are welcome, enjoy your first trip to France, I suspect it won't be yoiur last
