Headlight Beam Deflectors:
With a UK based car the headlights dip towards the kerb, as
you will be traveling on the right hand side of the road the
lights would dip towards on-coming traffic. For this reason
you must either block the part of the beam that dips or fit
small lenses that actually deflect it towards the right hand
kerb. |
