Hi
Taking our Transporter T25 camper permanently to Portugal and have checked many web sites for headlight adjustment.
On some new cars there is a switch for LHD/RHD but cannot see this on our Transporter!
Have had a look on line at the Beam Benders or right hand drive beam converters. Basically stick on patches on the headlights. (in the correct position)
But is there a better, long term, inexpensive, alternative.
If not a diagram/photo of exactly where to stick the converter on the round headlight would be appreciated.

What shape headlights do you have?

If single round ones - just replace them. About £25 each.

I have a set which I swap over to when we go ontot the continent. 10 minute job.

If square, beam deflectors is an option or you could sell them for good money an replace them with the more readily available LHD ones

Thank you for the reply Jim San.
Yes, they are the round single ones. So hopefully can be easily replaced.
Previously had a look on ebay etc, but could not find any.
Had another search on the web sites and found some on, Status VW, £40 each.
They tell me one light fits both sides of the van. Would you know if this is correct

I agree about its better to just buy LHD headlights and they are cheap, think mine came from VW direct. Left and right are different mounts.
It'll keep the police off your case and if your exporting permenantly it'll be better for your beam pattern, coz your not chopping half of it off with stickers. Some EU countries state that you must permenantly adjust your headlights for LHD I don't have experience of Portugal's MOT
