I'm off to France for 8 months in a few weeks' time - nearly forgot that I will need to adjust the dip beam pattern for driving on the right. Have used 'eurolites' on other vehicles before but have no idea where the beam deflectors would need to be stuck on the headlamp 'glass' (read discoloured plastic!), and as the Bongo's a grey import don't expect it to be covered in the application guide.
Any advice would be welcome as I was unable to resurrect a 2010 thread on this topic!!

The info at the bottom of this may help:

Otherwise we used to go out on a dark night and find a deserted, straight, level, road, then experiment with black pvc tape.
But that was back when you could find such a road...

Thanks for the link Bob. We've got plenty of roads like that round here, just have to mind out for owls and the odd poacher

See that the Halfords list includes Bongos, but only from 03/2005 onwards. Didn't think there were many built after that. Would the beam pattern be the same on a 1999 van?
