Hi All, a little advice needed if you can spare a mo....

We recently bought a new motorhome, (A Eura Mobil) on a 2007 Ford Transit base and we are going to France and Germany in it at the end of October/start of November. I went into my local Ford dealer today and tried to get a set of headlight converters but was told that I should go to halfords instead. Halfords told me that their ones only fit on cars, not commercial vehicles.

Anyone got any bright ideas short of blinding everyone else on the road. If not, then stay off the auto-routes from Calais to Berlin on 23rd Oct!!!

Thanks in advance for you help

If you stick beam benders on modern clear plastic headlamps like yours the lenses will overheat & you will get hairline cracks-where the benders were stuck--on your dash board you will find a roller switch that adjusts your dip beams up or down--drive on the continent with headlamps ajusted right down & you wont dazzle anybody--If you really must have beam benders buy a pair of snap on plastic headlamp protectors(your local Ford garage will sell 'em)& stick the beam benders on these
