Hi - my first post. We'll be driving in France and Belgium in December, with a QQ N-Connecta 2020. I've read somewhere that with some QQs there's a headlight setting to adjust the beam, so avoiding having to stick headlamp beam deflectors/converters/adapters. Any help with this topic? Does a 2020 N-Connecta have this feature? If so, where/how. Thanks.

The problem is addressed here: https://www.headlampconverters.co.uk/

The beam cut is wrong for France so has to be blanked on an RHD car. No amount of electrical beam adjustment etc to LHD is available AFAIK. That would need new headlamp units...very expensive.
