Headlamp Beam Adaptors
Anyone know a website that describes in rather better detail (than the
printed instructions) how to fit these beam adaptors? Car is 1999 Toyota Corolla. -- Michael in sunny Sussex, |

Do you mean beam converter over-lenses of beam masks, you seem to have missed out a reference to what 'how to fit these beam adaptors' actually are or if you are talking generically? |

You have checked there's not a control on the headlamps to set for central dip? My German car has this. -- *Gun Control: Use both hands. Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

My German car has this. just set your headlights as low as they will normally go (i.e. setting for a fully loaded car) and don't bother with the adaptors! that's all i do when i visit UK, and have never been 'flashed' for dazzling anyone. dave cowell, germany --- avast!

Michael We just do it on the cheap and stick either tape or now old shaped pieces of painted credit card on with blue-tak. We park facing a wall then find what part of the lens creates the beam offcut then blank off just that section of the lens. Light reduction is minimal and have used the process for years now. Gio |

I only found out about it by reading the handbook. -- *Strip mining prevents forest fires. Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
