[Cuchillo]

Hiho,

What type of beam benders do I need for a 97 Chim for driving in Europe?

TIA

Shouldn't bother I didn't, brought a set from Halfrauds and never fitted them. Two weeks driving in France no problems.

which set did you buy tho Al....are TVR listed in Halfwits book - they never normally are.????

I used halfwit's ones. Although TVR isn't listed, if you look at the diagrams for "normal" headlights you can find a good match for the Chimaera's bosch lights ... a sort of wedge pattern in the glass. The beam bender wotsits needed to be trimmed down a bit to fit. For what it's worth, I was in France a month ago avec beam deflectors and no one gave me the full-beam objection, but I was over there again last week sans beam deflectors and I got flashed a couple of times. When I got back to blightey and removed them, i found a lot of glue remained on the glass and needed turps or meths to shift it.

I have used ally body repair tape for this job for years, it never falls off due to heat or water, leaves no glue behind and a £5 roll will get both lights done at least 50 times. It is really easy to work out which part of the lens deflects the light.
