Do I need headlight deflectors to drive in France?

I'm taking my 2013 Audi A6 S-line Estate to France next week. Will I need headlight beam deflectors or do Audi lights dip downwards?

Find out for yourself. Wait until dark, point the car at your garage doors or at a wall. Try the lights on full beam and on dip. If they dip left you need deflectors or an adjustment (check the handbook). If they dip down, you're ok.
