beam deflectors for euro driving

grwm1 · Sep 1, 2021

Hi All,
back in the day, when I used to take my old MG Midgets to France, virtually all cars had round Lucas sealed beams, and there was only 1 type of beam deflector needed. Today, when I Google beam deflectors I get thousands of choices popping up, but nothing specific for round sealed beams as far as I can see.
What do I need to buy for the round sealed beams on my Defender110 - any advice gratefully received

Park 10 to 20 ft from a door/wall, see the beam patttern on the door/wall? you need to get rid of the kick up bit, ie the bit above the centre line with some tape on the headlamp.

Google Eurolites beam defenders. They are suitable for all cars. They are usually available at the ferry port shop or buy online for a fiver before you go.

as @Hellsteeth , or buy the RING set on Amazon which are cheaper at £5.95 - still have these on the 90 from recent trip to the Alpes

That's what I do, black gaffer tape and cut to suit the lines on the glass after fitting. May not be right but never had a problem.
