US to France wiring conversion = NONE ( 1979 ).
I was required to change
_seal beams to Europe Hallogene beams; This is plug compatible.
_instrument cluster from miles to kilometers.
Easy changes: Cheap parts from junkyards and very little labor.
Another conversion I am interested to do is:
Main 220v AC: Outside plug and inside plugs. And, may be, the fridge power supply ( so far, I simply dumped the US 110v power supply ).
Who did it ?

Does France still require yellow headlamps (or alternatively, yellow headlamp bulbs), or have they relented and adopted the universal white European headlamps & bulbs?

About all cars, now use white beams.
However yellow beams are allowed.
I keep yellows on my old VW cars. The yellow bulb is simply a white one with a yellow cap over it. In any case, the beam's front glass is white.
Many cars have those blinding UFO powerfull blueish lights. My new Renault Laguna came with these.
