Driving in Europe - headlight beam adjustment

[Maxz]

I could have sworn there was a previous post on this or in the user manual, but a search of both can't find anything.

Is there still a requirement with modern headlights (and therefore on IS300H) to put stickers or adjust beam settings for driving in Europe?

If someone knows how to adjust please advise, otherwise I'll invest in a sticker set.

Many Thanks

Max

All UK Lexus vehicles with HID/Xenon or LED lights have a flat beam pattern and therefore don't require stickers.

Saves me a job, thanks Colin!

Does that mean my regular (non-led) IS300h from end of 2018 is included in that category,  @ColinBarber ?

The 1st time I crossed over to France (in my previous car, a 2016 Honda) I fitted the stickers, ony to see most people don't fit them.

Subsequent times I never bothered but always kept a set in the glovebox, just in case. I do add the uk sticker in the back also just in case.

I have even been stopped by French police and they didn't mentioned them (they seemed more concerned with my luggage and by the way, they weren't nice even though it was a routine control and I had done nothing).

I don't think there's any French legal requirement for right-hand-drive cars to have stickers on their headlamps. So the police wouldn't do anything if you didn't have them. Instead, there's a legal requirement not to dazzle oncoming traffic. So if you drove at night with unadjusted headlights that dazzled oncoming traffic on your left the police might intervene. But as Colin says, the IS300h has a flat beam rather than raised on the left as headlights used to be, so the stickers aren't needed.
