Mainland Europe may be just a short distance away and your Lexus is designed to be the ideal companion for a continental road trip. However, a spontaneous decision to drive abroad could put you at risk of receiving an on-the-spot fine if you do not have all the compulsory or recommended safety equipment on board.
While it is possible to buy each of the necessary items individually from different sources, Lexus has released a comprehensive European Safety Kit in its accessory range for all those who like to have everything together in one neat, handy package.
Included in the European Safety Kit are four high-visibility safety jackets, a first aid kit, two warning triangles, headlamp converters, two breathalysers and a GB sticker.
Contained in a branded carry case measuring approximately 47x11x11cm, this kit was designed to be carried at all times so you can always be prepared for the unexpected, whether driving in the UK or abroad. In fact, so compact is it that you should still be able to squeeze the proverbial kitchen sink into the boot!
Order your European Safety Kit from your local Lexus Centre at a cost of £55.

Hi there, thanks for getting in touch.
Your Lexus has LED headlights with a flat beam pattern so will not require beam deflectors.
Thanks,

Hi there, can I please check if I need a beam deflector to drive in France? The car registration is LG20 TGV
Car model: UX250h
Thanks for your help
Good morning Kelvin,
Thanks for getting in touch.
All of our new cars with LED headlights have a flat beam pattern so will not need deflectors when driving in Europe. Older models have a ‘kick up’ on the left which would head directly into the view of oncoming drivers.
Our technical team have advised that you visit your local Lexus centre or MOT centre to have the beam pattern checked on a beam analyser before heading abroad. The use of stick on beam deflectors is not advised as LED type headlamps can let off a lot of heat and generally cause the stickers to melt on the lens. However, some European laws do require these beam deflector stickers to be present though so worth purchasing anyway.
Have a great trip, thank you.
