has anyone knowledge of whether I need to swap out the headlamp units on the above uk registered FL XS SD4 2014 model to export/register it in france; the transfer of registration needs to be done in the next few weeks

and, anything else that likely causes issues with the French Control Technique inspection?

did yer get this sorted?

You would probablly need to get the heqdlamp units changed in order to get the correct beam pattern for LHD
Apart from that just ensure it has its original parts (EGR etc)
The "controle technique" is not so severe but if you "know" a guy who does it then it can help

Brakes, leaks, emissions are key elements of course
