Beam benders

[miniandy]

Hi I have xenon headlights - do i need those silly little sticker things on my headlights for going to france, or can reno adjust my beam before going? cheers

My Saab has these HID things, can't get beam benders for them. Lights are auto leveling and are only adjustable by a dealer who can only lower them.

I don't think HID have the same issue due to the pattern of the light and the fact that they have such a sharp beam cut off.

Mine will be going without beam benders.

Wouldn't the heat of the xenon's melt the beam benders anyway?

I can flick a switch in my Boxster (OK have to remove lights first!) to bend the beam for my car

You can always tell those who have not been before,
they have those funny patches on their lights!

Most Zenons etc have a switch somewhere, some need a dealer to make the change.

Be carefull don't try and adjust them whn they are on as if you touch the wrong bit you'll know about it !!

Don't know about these 'fancy' lights but I haven't driven in the dark in 4 years of going!

I bought some benders (????) last year and they're still in my door pocket.
