2004 ford galaxy - switch headlight deflectors for right hand side driving   
A long shot but figured I'd try, anyone here changed the headlights of
a ford galaxy so it's good for driving on right hand side?  I'm going
on holiday to France. I checked the owners manual and very helpfully it
has a section under headlights for switching the deflectors, but very
unusefully it simply says, contact an expert, we recommend a ford
dealership. Smashin, they're likely to charge a few quid too!

Any ideas?

Assuming you bought the vehicle new from a dealer, surely they would show
you without charge? If not, I know I'd not be using them in the future!

If you have HID's then its a case of removeing the head light and flicking a 
switch under the inspection plate on the rear of the unit, if you standard 
head lights then its a case of sticking on beam benders/black tape! your 
dealer will have a copy of the templates on his TIS if he can find them?  if 
not pop over to http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ and ask on there
