Soon going on our first trip to France and have organised breath test kit, etc, but where is the best place to get beam deflectors for the lights on our Fiat Ducato?
Are they easy to fit?

You could buy some headlight protectors and fit the beam deflectors to them, then it would be easy to swap back.
Cool.... ThanksBy the way, the breath test is no longer a requirement, it has been totally repealed now, so save the money for something else. There have been many threads on this, but you MUST carry:
Hi vis vest (1 for each occupant including children)
Warning triangle (2 in Spain)
Spare bulbs
First aid kit (advisable not mandatory)
V5, Proof of insurance, Passport and Photocard driving licence
Spare tyre (or emergency kit) and tools to repair
Hope this helps

So if hardly anybody uses them and are not getting stopped or prosecuted, then I reckon I might take the chance and not botherBefore you do anything have a good read:

It is true, many people don't use them, but for the sake of £10 is it really worth risking it? I always put them on, but I have never been stopped. I believe the fine for not having them is pretty steep, so pay your money and take your choice, as the saying goesSo if hardly anybody uses them and are not getting stopped or prosecuted, then I reckon I might take the chance and not bother
Just a slight correction to the above, you do NOT have to have a photocard driving licence, just ideally take your driving licence - we've still got our pink paper ones!By the way, the breath test is no longer a requirement, it has been totally repealed now, so save the money for something else.

Think you will find you do , all paper ones are now obsoleteJust a slight correction to the above, you do NOT have to have a photocard driving licence, just ideally take your driving licence - we've still got our pink paper ones!

They are not obsolete at all - there is NO requirement to HAVE to get a plastic photo licence, if however we have to get a replacement licence, eg we move house, or lose one/damage it etc, then it will automatically be replaced with a plastic photo one. Details about it all can be found here:Think you will find you do , all paper ones are now obsolete

We took beam deflectors with us on our first trip to France last year when our MH had a fiat cab. We never actually fitted them but we never drove in the dark either. We took them in case we needed to drive at night but were parked up by 4.00pm every day and it was still sunny in July.
Now with this MH we have a dilemma - the headlights are just 3 one of 3 little circles on each side (see my avatar) - how do we deal with these?

Ours aren't even behind one glass - there are 3 separate little glass recesses.Good thought?. The Ducato ones are similar, like twin headlights behind a single glass?. so how do beam benders work on those too?. Hmmm??
Pete
Do you need beam benders? Do you have a way of adjusting them so that they are unnecessary?Ours aren't even behind one glass - there are 3 separate little glass recesses.
