With beambenders or black tape headlamps that do not have any markings on them to position the masks accuratly, the best way is to park the vehicle on level ground pointing at a wall at night and position the maskuntill it shows the best effect to the right hand side, thats the place to fix it, if you do not want to fix it untill at the docks , take measurements from top and side of headlamp and write down for latter use.  kiev

Or, just make up a template for each headlamp and keep it (or obtain details from the car manufacturer, as I did) position on the headlamp and trace around it with a 'permanent marker' pen. 

Then, just infill with black insulation tape.  Simple, cheap and it works.

The marker lines just need going over now and again to be easily visible the next time you need them.  (And it's worth re-marking before you use a car wash!)

Now how much easier can that be?  All I have to do now is drive to the ferry port on normal UK lights, fill in with black tape (which remains there for the holiday) and then peel it off when we get to the return port.  The cost of all this?  1p?  I don't know ...... but it sure makes economic sense to me.

BTW, my car manufacturer was more than happy to send me the relevant templates via the post/fax/email.  One quick phone call was all that it took.
