do i need to fit beam deflectors to a BMW 760 2003, the beam is flat and has no kick-up either way.

[Frances The Mute]

I've never bothered in the 13 years I've been driving on the continent. I've never had any issue with dazzling other drivers.

Do you have switches/levers on the back of the headlights for changing the beam pattern for LHD/RHD? Most BMWs I've seen do.

In the past I've flicked the levers and not bothered with the deflectors

[metelmickey]

i will look in the hand-book and find out.

Flat beams do not need deflectors

[Mike-tf3n0]

I live in France and my RHD E39 530d Touring still has it's UK headlights fitted, the levers are switched to the continental setting which only cuts off the raised pattern on the left of the beam. It sails through it's Controle Technique / MOT without any problem so I would suggest that if your lights have a flat beam with no raised pattern on the left then you are clear to go.
