Product description
Product Description
WHAT ARE THEY?
A pair of stick-on converters that adjust a UK vehicle's headlamp beam to suit driving on the opposite side of the road in Europe.
WHY DO YOU NEED THEM?
They are a legal requirement in many EU countries, because without them, your beam will dazzle oncoming traffic and could cause an accident.
If you do not have beam converters fitted you could face a penalty. In France, for example, this is a 90 Euro on-the-spot fine.
IN USE
They are suitable for all vehicles, easy to apply and include individual fitting diagrams for over 800 vehicles including the latest Clear Glass Headlamps, Projector, Xenon, and Glass Line Pattern headlamps.
You must have them attached before you disembark the ferry or leave the Euro Tunnel.
CAUTION
Remember to remove the beam converters as soon as you return to the UK.
Box Contains
2 x Headlamp deflectors
1 x Instruction leaflet

A word of warning, once you return from the continent - you need to remove these again to keep police happy, But these seem to peel off in two sections. Peeling off the first section will mean your lights will work properly for the police.- If you continue to drive for around half an hour with your lights on and the first section of these peeled off - the heat from your lights will soften the glue keeping the last bit stuck in place - it will then be easier to prise off the last sections without scratching the headlamp lenses on your vehicle.
Disclaimer - I have had a couple of lessons from continental cops on how to adjust my headlights. You go into an underground car park, drive the car against a wall and then reverse until the light from the headlights on the wall shows a clear set of "horns". These are the ones you have to kill using a beam converter. You align the beam converter until the horns disappear. This is what blinds the other driver and this is what you have to eliminate. By the way, you may find that the position where it happens is _DIFFERENT_ from the one on the diagram.
The older "stripe" model was considerably better for this. You could kill the "horn" completely. With this - not possible at least for my vehicle (Isuzu Denver).
So while you are complying with the legal reqs, you are actually not improving yours (and others) safety by much.
Never had problem with them, well designed and institution is good.
I always clean the lamp glass using baby wipes and then switch lightsxon so glad is dry and warm, before I fit them in place.
Other small adjustment that I do is the bulb H7 type bulb change in the car from standard to night breakers type from osram in order to have nice length of low beam on the road as well, very useful when poor weather/lighting condition (rain and night).
We had a stop to rest and were shocked to see that both the stickers were gone. This is the last thing you want to happen when crossing the border.
I am ashamed that AA does sell this kind of quality which puts customers at risk of fine (by French Police) as well as dazzling other drivers in France.
Come on AA. Stop selling us Junk!
