Headlamp beam deflectors
This page provides templates for beam deflectors to use when taking your car to a country where they drive on the wrong side of the road (or if you're LHD, the correct side of the road).
Use the templates to mask off your lights using suitable waterproof tape. The diagrams are self-explanatory even without the numbered labels.
Note: Right and Left, in this document, refer to the vehicle right and left as you are sitting in the vehicle looking forwards.

Mk2
The Mk2 instructions are reversible. The headlamp pictures are for a LHD vehicle, so look at your screen in a mirror for RHD. The templates are for nearside and offside, and should be flipped over as appropriate (striped side out on LHD, in on RHD).
