Gordon to the best of my knowledge all dedicated LED headlamps are essentially sealed units albeit with considerably greater life than filament bulbs.
Thanks for that Richard. Without wanting to start a thread drift, would you have to carry a spare whilst driving in France? And do these lights require the beam deflectors when driving on the "wrong" side of the road?
I understand there are stick on masks that may qualify a l/h dip headlamp for use abroad. There are of course r/h dip versions available as a quick although admittedly expensive swap.
Regarding the French law, I don't see how it can be applicable to dedicated LED headlamps which are essentially sealed units. LED bulbs in filament bulb reflectors may be viewed differently. TBH this French regulation although probably well intended and valid at introduction seems now outdated, for cars with OE LED lighting at least
