Since January 1st 1938 there was a Dutch law that prescribed two headlights less than 40 cm from the side of the car, so Peugeot x02 models had to have different headlights in Holland. After the war this law has been 'forgotten' for a while, then in the sixties people who wanted to import a second hand Peugeot x02 fixed the headlamps of a 2CV, just for getting a Dutch lisence plate...
