Hi, has anyone got any advice about re-registering my car, please? I鈥檓 concerned about how to alter the headlights. We鈥檝e been using stickers, successfully, as far as we鈥檙e aware, for three and a half years, since we鈥檝e been traveling in Europe. Will this suffice? We have a Mazda 5 and I don鈥檛 know how I鈥檇 get new LHD lights, or even if they exist. Any advice welcome. Thanks, Caroline

Hi Caroline, I had no problem re-registering my Suzuki Grand Vitara from the UK聽 with headlight stickers, but this was 2 years ago and, I guess, may differ from place to place. Since then I replaced them with European headligts and now I can see much better at night! All sort of car parts can be bought in Internet here.

Hi Dmirt, thank you for your help. We鈥檙e in the process of buying new headlights聽 - searched for 2nd hand but our car seems very rare, here - and the garage man said that it鈥檚 only in Vratsa (where we are) that they are strict about proper lights. He said in other areas of Bulgaria it鈥檚 possible to get away with the stickers.

Hi
I recently re-registered my English Honda CRV in Vidin
It was more complicated than I thought it would be and certainly more expensive
I was able to get a local parts dealer to order new LHD headlights and they fitted them as well
I had the stickers but they weren鈥檛 acceptable
Good luck with it

Yeah, we were taken by surprise that it鈥檚 going to cost a whopping 谢胁 720 for the headlights. All in all, an expensive undertaking, when you add in the cost of re-registration.
