Headlight deflectors for France etc?

[JWD]

Has anyone seen any info on what is needed? I haven’t seen anything in settings.

Go to Halfords they sell the French kit you need.

Wot, sticking bits on? I thought we had progressed from that

Are they matrix LEDs? If so, I imagine they'd adapt automatically to oncoming lights to the left.

I contacted the maker of “Eurolite” headlight deflectors today. They don’t yet know the positioning required of their stick on deflectors for the car but are working on it and expect to be able to tell me by end November before I will be travelling over the channel. It will then be included in their updated instruction sheet.

So here is the answer from the EuroLite company re where to stick the deflector on a Cyberster UK headlight for use in mainland Europe.
You just use the circular part of the deflector and use pattern 114 on their standard fitting instruction sheet. I’ll see how well it works next week in Netherlands, Germany, Belgium & France

Just bear in mind that sticking these things to the headlights can often cause damage to the housing as they wont come off without force, I have seen many on multiple brands where the lights are scratched and faded where people are trying to take the stickers off,

Bear in mind that as a dealer we are advising the below against all models

The MG headlights includes what is known as a flat beam. No adjustment is therefore required for European driving, certainly not on temporary basis anyway.

I think if one is suitably careful and follow the instructions there is no reason to damage the plastic housing - I haven’t previously.
The dipped beam has a distinct throw to the left so on minor roads in the dark dazzling oncoming traffic must surely be likely which I would rather not cause.
I guess at the end it is a personal choice though so each to their own….
