AA Headlamp Beam Converters, Deflectors

Purchased for use when needing to drive on the opposite side of the road in Europe. They are very easy to apply and also easy to remove when no longer needed. Once removed, they do not generally leave any residue, although there is a possibility of slight residue if they are left on for a long period of time. As they are designed for one-time use, they do need to be discarded after removal rather than reused. The main challenge is actually understanding the instructions. The leaflet lists a large number of vehicles, which can be quite confusing at first glance. It’s important to carefully find your exact make and model, then match it to the correct number and diagram rather than trying to interpret the whole sheet at once. Once fitted correctly, they seem to do the job as expected without any issues, and are a useful, inexpensive solution for temporary legal compliance when driving abroad.

Stuck down well. Quite bewildering instructions on the first glance but after searching for the vehicle we found the plan on how to place the lenses. There was still some question over the exact location. Would have preferred exact dimensions from the top and side of the light but appreciate this is a tough call considering how many vehicles are out there. They stuck on perfectly fine, and more importantly for me, they could be removed perfectly fine too with no damage or left over residue on the plastic lenses. Good price considering the quality.

I installed these on my Mercedes 190D before a trip away to Europe recently. I found that they did work properly and I hadn't blinded any of the locals because I wasn't flashed once at night! The instructions can be a bit confusing if you car isn't currently listed on the paper - you can find a whole list online. If not, then you need to properly clean your headlights, I'd recommend using isopropyl alcohol so the adhesive has a good chance of sticking. Then check the lines on your headlight patterns if using old H4 style like the 190, and line them up to the suggested diagram. You should end up with the beam reflectors on the left hand side of the low beams if anything like the old Benz. When removing I found they leave a very sticky residue, but nothing some alcohol or WD40 will not remove!

Bought these for a trip to the Netherlands and fitted them prior to crossing to europe. They were easy to fit following the enlosed instructions once I had found which headlights were fitted to my vehicle. They worked very well and will buy them again when I have to drive overseas.

Stick well, come off quite easily when required. Instructions try to cover all the normal headlight options.

Cheap and did the job (I assume) but they leave a horrible tacky mark when you pull them off.

I have used these for years now. no complaints from me.

These satisfy the legal requirement to "convert" headlights on RHD vehicles (as in UK) when travelling on european roads. The instructions are a bit difficult to follow as they seem to cover just about every model of car in the UK from the early 90s onwards. Once I'd worked out that firstly the converters needed to be trimmed down to a discs for my car (VW Passat) and, secondly, exactly where on the headlights I needed to attach the resulting sticky plastic discs, actually attaching them is easy enough. However, make very sure you know exactly where they need to be located and get it right first time as unsticking and relocating them is not really achievable. To remove them when you get home you need some solvent, metholated or surgical spirit will do, but for me finally removing all the sticky adhesive was a bit more troublesome and time consuming than expected. Although marketed as "AA" as far as I can tell exactly the same product can be purchased under various other brand packaging. Not a particularly great product, but for £5 these things are relatively cheap, do the job and fulfil the legal requirement.
