Fitting beam deflectors for European driving..T4

Made me own out of Orange Insulation Tape, Download the Photo & Zoom in Chap.
You can see the Triangle Pattern on the Headlight, I never take em off to be honest.
Put your headlights on against a Wall & you can see where to Mask up

I thought dipped beams (in the UK) pointed down and to the left? Your deflectors are on the LHS of your headlights; doesn't this mean you are still dazzling drivers when overseas?

The only reason I'm asking is I'm trying to fathom where to fit them on my T4 myself

Ignore the instructions, look carefully at the lights, the pattern of vertical moulding in the glass is different in a definite area on the rhs of the light as you look at it, mask this bit. Go and test it on your local big wall. (I use waitrose...)

I thought so...

I just didn't want to fall foul of the Gendarmes 

Chap,

Put your dipped beam on about 20ft from a wall,
Then you'll SEE where to put them,
I've run like that for 5 years, you are blanking off the Left Hand kick up on the road which is produced on the lower right hand side of the lamp exactly where I've blanked off.
The MOT tester commented on the FLAT headlight Pattern for continental driving.
REMEMBER it's light shining thro Glass so it works similar to a prism & the pattern is REVERSED.

It works Try it you'll see 😉
Or of course you can do your own thing 😳

Here you go that's 2 of us that don't know what were doing

Just realised, my van is long nose and the light pattern is on the opposite side...
