You could try Halfords - have a furtive look at the instructions on
their converters.
Alternately, you may have to buy the converters - they're cheap.
Count yourself lucky you're an alfista :
My brother recently took his BMW 3-series to Tuscany for the annual
family top-up of wine / food / sun.
Being a law-abiding individual, he wanted to purchase headlamp
deflectors for the trip.
As he couldn't find anything suitable in the local motor spares
em****ium, he turned to his BMW dealer -
"Yes sir, no problem, we can provide 2 small pieces of sticky-backed
plastic, plus two sachets of wet-wipes to remove the adhesive residue
from your headlamps on your return to the UK. That will be =A328.00
please. "
This is not a mis-print.
