Do I have to use beam deflectors on my Audi A4?
I have an Audi A4 Avant (2012) that I drive regularly to France and use the beam deflectors. But I was wondering, is it possible to adjust the lights on the car so I don't have to use the deflectors?

Depends on what sort of headlights it is fitted with. Try this simple test. At night, point the car at a wall of a garage door at least 20 feet away. Then try the headlights on full beam and on dipped beam. If they dip to the left, you probably need deflectors. if they dip down, you don't.
