No, it wasn't mandatory for us to have yellow bulbs. Bit - if & when we
didn't - every loyal Frenchman thought it his civil duty to flash his lights
at one. A nuisance, to put it politely, but that was presumably why they did
it? Long time ago it seems now.

Dipped headlamp deflectors were and still are mandatory on UK cars on the
Continent, however it was never mandatory for non-French car to have yellow
lenses.

BUT, being me, I kept them and they were a perfect fit on my 3000 the year
before last.
