How do you fit beam deflectors to a T350 lense?? has anybody done this? or is it a case of stick some tape on to make it look like you've made an effort? or just not bother at all?

I've done a search and the previous posts don't come up with a definative answer either.

Cheers.

Don't bother, I have 2 cars in Norway at the moment and both don't have the deflectors on. no one seems to mind. I have been stopped by the police on Standard checks and all they have done is ensure I have the standard equipment in the car eg. bulb kit, high vis jacket, breakdown triangle and carrying my driving license.

You don't need beam deflectors. You can adjust the beam pattern by getting behind the housings and rotating the whole lamp assenbly about 30 degrees anticlockwise.

I don't plan on driving at night anyway, the lights aren't the brightest and are a already low so i won't bother. I don't really want to jack it up and pull the housings if i don't have to.

That's what I do on the Tamora.

Perhaps I've misunderstood something, but the Tamora also has a perspex light cover - I put the black tape on this, not the headlight itself. There's no way the tape does anything in terms of beam deflection, but it looks like I've thought about it!
