Wait... are the beam deflectors mandatory?
Not sure how they would work on an Alfa Romeo 159?Depends on the light tech you have.
Xenon lights have a flat beam pattern so don't need them. Most adaptive lights on new cars (the ones that blank out parts of the beam) don't need them or have settings to change the pattern when driving on the continent.
If you don't have either, it's mandatory.

I'm heading over next Monday week and somewhat sweating bullets as my car is still on UK plates with tax expired, apparently there's a massive backlog in the tax office in Ireland because everyone is stocking up on pre-Brexit imports... I've been waiting weeks for a statistical code so I can pay my VRT and Irish road tax.
Is it something they actively check from onboard cameras etc. or just in the event of being stopped?
