Super Beam Benders

Hi

Could anybody advise where I can obtain a set of beam benders for a 2007 Peugeot boxer please.

We are going to France and Spain in the spring and apparently we need to fit these before we get to France.

have you tried your local dealership, or if all else fails go to your nearest motorist discount shop. or the aa or rac may help
 
Halfords. Clubs (C&CC ? CC) Even at the port duty free shop or on board the ferry.
 
Take it to your peaugeot dealer and get them to put it front of the beam direction tester then you can put a small piece of tape over the relevant position. Thats what I have done and they assured me that will be ok.

i had the same advice from an mot tester for my lhd to pass the mot, have read that there can be problems though on plastic lensed headlights, should be no problems at all on glass
 
Too expensive

They are all too expensive!!!:mad:
We make our own every year by cutting the shape out of gaffer tape:D:cool:
 
I would just like to reinforce the comment about useing glue on plastic "lenses", things like super glue are a definite no-no as they will almost certainly permanently mark the plastic.

The other problem you may encounter with the new Sevil headlights is the outer is a cover not a lens and therefore masking or deflecting on this may not be effective, as it's some distance away from the real lens.

It would probably be best to get advice from the dealers, but try to speak to workshop staff or someone with practical experience rather than the salesman.
 
I'm not going to start a row on this because I do the same; a bit of insulating tape etc.
But, and here's the problem: If the Police want to be awkward then they can insist that it should be one of those dopey plastic lense benders.
There is no doubt that the Continental Police are tightening up on visiting Brits. At Dunkerque they were pulling Brit vehicles (end July '07). They were, allegedly, doing the same at Calais and Boulogne as well.
So, the moral is, mask your headlights before you get off the boat
 
Gaffer tape

I put the gaffer tape on at home before we leave and if cut neatly, it looks the part and I doudt that the French would even notice that they were not a purchaced item.:D

they would have to look close and then it should only be a problem if they don't deflect the beam
 
Plastic Headlamps - WARNING!

Be VERY careful when sticking ANYTHING to the latest plastic headlamp lenses, the heat from the bulbs can and DOES cause a reaction between the adhesive on the tape, lens bender etc and the plastic lens causing it to 'craze' and weaken.

So what ever you use, DO remove it as soon as you get home.

I also bought headlamp covers for my last van (ducato) that came with beam masks and fient lines on them indicating position. I'M sure they are available for the new ones. I bought a kit from Halfords this year that came with a guide for all vehicle models...About £6.
