It’s a funny one and odd that they don’t seem to know themselves!

I’ll take some with me. I’ll be driving through day. I might then test it and see if I get any flashes!

I did email my dealer about but he doesn’t seem to answer the question.., it’s not about detecting on coming traffic! 😂

If you have proper plates they should have the UK symbol on them....If this is the case you don't need any additional stickers.
The French police won't bother you about deflectors, A lot of modern cars don't need them.

No UK badge on our plates, dealer provided, just letters and numbers.

True it's likely more common these days.

Cheap skates... :lol: We've used the magnetic stickers in Europe, but not on a Puma. However, there is no reason why they wouldn't be fine on your car.

Has anybody actually confirmed that the lights auto adjust? I'm not convinced they did(UK spec car in Italy) based on the projection pattern I can see the odd time I drive in the dark. I have the full LEDs

I don't think they adjust as such, but, as the Ford statement below says, they are built to both L & R tolerances. AFAIK they have flat beams with no left kick up that would dazzle euro drivers.
If they weren't I guess you'd be flashed all night long surely?.... :D
found this elsewhere that someone screen grabbed from ETIS....Maybe someone with access can double check?
