Pretty sure you can buy those lights cheaper than that from a dealer.

Jim: can't remember if you have bi-xenons, but those beam deflectors won't work with bi-xenon light, I think.... :unsure:

I bought some Eurolites beam adjuster for my xenon lights, but oddly the fitting instructions are different for Galaxy vs. S-Max - but they use the same headlights. :wacko:

Actually, yes. I used the Metro ones on S-Max 1 (standard lights). Last time I used Eurolites, and will again this time. £4 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EUROLITES-Headlamp-Converters-Beam-Benders-Adaptors_W0QQitemZ220467848288QQcmdZViewItemQQptZU K_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item3354e864 60

I picked up a set for £35 + £15pp earlier this year. I have since seen used ones bidding at £10 plus the same in postage. Its only four screws to remove them and as I travel to Europe at least 4 times a year they're definately worth it in the long run.

this is a really good idea brains...do you carry the euro ones down to the channel crossing then change over or do you change at home and obviously try not travel here in the dark..

We have those turneycornerjobbiethingmyjubs on the Mondy but replaced them with standard continental ones for just over 300 euros the pair from our Ford Dealer. (Quoted over 800 euros for the continental turneycornerjobbiesthingmyjubs version - I think not).

Spare a thought for a friend of mine who has just had to pay out over £2000 for a set of conti lights for his citroen.

Err Dover's not that far from here so took a leaf out of Russell's book. Be warned they would take up room equivalent of two cases of wine if properly boxed

Disown them. It's the safest thing to do, Lou.

So, what can we use on the Bi Xenons? The beam deflectors?
