Go4it1011 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 HiOff to France soon so ordered a pair of Eurolite beam deflectors. In the instructions it says if your car is not listed watch a video on YouTube. There a guy fits a set to an MGB at the nine o'clock position as you look at the headlamp. Those of you have fitted them before is this the same position for a Caterham with the normal chrome headlights fitted as standard?If anyone has a pic they could post would be helpful.Cheers in advance.

Go4it1011 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 Is the Eurolite fitted??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revilla Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Ah sorry I thought mine were Eurolite branded but comparing them to a Google image search it looks like mine are different to what you are fitting. Mine were translucent and deflected the beam rather than blocking part of it, and yes the deflector is fitted in that picture. The silver dot in the middle is a sticker that comes with it for alignment and the roughly triangular shape around that and to the right is the beam deflector itself.

Go4it1011 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 The Eurolite deflectors I have are totally different to yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viblue7 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I use the Eurolites from Halfords.The instructions in the pack show how to fit to the lines on the headlamp glass so is easy to do (assuming you have headlamp glass with the lined pattern on of course however the instructions cover just about all options) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanium7 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Are you sure that's stuck on correct side of the lens as I thought (facing the front of the headlight) the LH side throws the light onto the opposite carriageway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian B Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Do you see any euro cars with beam deflectors when they're driving in the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go4it1011 Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Nigel, although my deflectors look different to yours in your link, they, I believe are in the same position ie: the nine o'clock position as the guy in the video, so that's where I'm gonna stick 'em!I'll soon know if the Frogs disagree with my decision.

Guy Lowe Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Off to the LMC next week, does anyone bother doing this anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Not needed with LED modules with flat top dip beam, otherwise yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 In 20 years of touring abroad I've never bothered with beam deflectors on the 7, just tweaked the bowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Lowe Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Thanks Chris, it's been a few years and my age seems to affect my memory, I'll just plead ignorance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonym Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 no that because they have flat beams not deflected ones. - ok far too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
