Default Halogen on low beam

Hi guy.

I'm new on this forum and i live in France.
I bought an Us Vette C6 2007 in the beginning ou this year and i have to ask for a French registration.
Follow a law in Europe :

In addition, ECE regulations require headlights with particularly
intense bulbs — xenons and high-power halogens — to be equipped with
automatic self-leveling systems that control the lamps' aim under all
conditions. The beams are prevented from rising and zapping other
drivers with glare when the vehicle is heavily loaded, suddenly
accelerated, or driven over a rise in the road. They're also prevented
from dipping and cutting short the driver's seeing distance under hard
braking. Even the most powerful headlights are not required to have
leveling systems under American regulations."


Because of this law, i look for a system to, temporary, swap the HID low beam to Halogen loaw beam. in that way not self-leveling will be required !!!
If somebody can help me, it's will be great.

sorry for my really bad english

Leon

Leon: Congratulations on getting the Vette. Your English is fine. For the low beam replacement you might try contacting Corvette Forum sponsor Gene Culley at GMPartsHouse.com. Good luck.
