Hi everyone,

Off to France soon, first time, I have had a good look but cant find an definite answer and the dealer we bought from cant give an answer either, do I need deflectors on this type of headlight.
thanks

When have you ever seen a foreign vehicle in the UK using beam deflectors and I've looked ?

Are you going to be driving at night while abroad ?

Has anybody seen a foreign MoHo with beam deflectors fitted

Come to think of it, I haven't seen a foreign anything with beam deflectors on

In the UK when on dip they go down & to the left so lighting the kerb area . Ours here go up & down as Lenny says , Flat. They do not dip to the right lighting up the road edge,kerb ,ditch . We have fog lights to do that
That's why we don't need them in the UK & I often drive at night in the UK & am more likely to be blinded by the xenon tat than you are by a lhdrive.

Only if your vehicle is from the 1970's. All modern LHD vehicles the headlamps have an asymmetrical beam pattern that kicks up to the right.

Just an update in case anybody may be interested, I drove 3 times with the headlights on, no one flashed me, so all ok.
