A question, has anyone seen a foreign car/ MH/ truck/ bus over here with beam deflectors on? I know I haven't.
Our Inca (2004) has vertically dipping Headlamps with no 'beam pattern' as such. So I have no deflectors.As far as I'm aware, European vehicles don't have asymmetrical dipped Headlamps which are a legal requirement in the UK.
Theirs dip vertically, so won't create a dazzle hazard.

I've no Idea regarding the technicalities, but it has always passed the MOT.So how does it pass an MOT?
Doesn't the beam need to illuminate the correct area of the beam testing machine?
Incorrect, yes the do, LHD vehicles the dip beam kicks up to the right. That is why when you import a LHD vehicle you have to change the headlamps or some such as the Hella Projector lamps fitted to most A Class vans you can adjust them for flat dipping which is acceptable to the VCA.As far as I'm aware, European vehicles don't have asymmetrical dipped headlamps which are a legal requirement in the in the UK.

Beam deflectors are OK for an MOT but not aceptable to the VCA when importing a vehicle.On my Rapido my garage fit beam deflectors to give the right pattern for the mot. Seems to do the trick, it's always passed.
On my day trips to France for booze in the car I just stick a couple of bits of black tape on to show willing.

There's a specific name for those.....I have noticed when driving at night that there seem to be far more cars about with one headlamp dazzling oncoming vehicles.
