If you need them they are available in Range (made by Ring) for £5.99 and Wilko for about the same-cheaper than well known high street motor emporium or at the port!
Got a spare set as we bought some for our last Kia and our Santa Fe has HID lights which you switch over using dashboard menu! My mate will probably have them!

Could be worth keeping an eye on the Range, when the Christamas stuff comes in the camping and travel stuff goes on clearance.

Got my Sunncamp EHU £36 and 25m 2.5mm (16amp) EHU ext lead £18 from them back in mid September 2008, bargain even back then at £54 for the pair.

The Range Seasonal discount back then was 40% of there marked prices?

Christmas stuff was in a fortnight ago

, but the camping display was stripped back to minimal items. I either missed a sale or rthey didn'y have one this year.

I didn't bother - through forgetfulness - with deflectors this year

Would it just not be easier and quicker to have a car where you change the light set up from the comfort of the drivers seat.

Just sayin like.

I was putting mine on in the marshalling lanes at Dover back in July when a chap in a Tesla came over and asked me for help in putting his on

. He thought I was some kind of car genius when I helped him go through the car settings and switch them to 'driving abroad'

On the plus side, he was a surgeon and his wife a GP so I got them to come and examine my little girl's foot and assure her it wasn't broken after getting it stuck in the door so all was good. Some things were just meant to happen, I guess

I will remember that GT, when I buy my Tesla, that will be the last time that Eurolites get £4 of me!

That's all set to change DaveS, due to the increase in volume of Tesla's that are now being manufactured.

I have not bought my own car since 1980, as from 1985 I have been driving company cars.

In a few years time I will be handing back my company car, by that time the UK will be awash with Tesla Model 3's that have come of say a 3 year lease.

Current running cost of a BEV is around 2 pence per mile, a fossil car costs 10 pence per mile at the very best.

Add to that that there are very few mechanical parts in a BEV compared to a fossil car, makes owning a BEV a no brainer.

I’m a bit confused - are we talking about headlight beam deflectors here? If so, does anyone know if you can change the direction on a Fiat Ducato 2012? We put these wretched things on every year and never sure if they’re on correctly, it would be so much easier to change them under the bonnet.

Not as confused as when you look at those fitting instructions on the fold out A3 double sided sheet provided with a set of Eurolites!.

It's more about compliance than actual effectiveness, just give the headlight covers a dam good clean, with some meths etc, once the meths has evaporated warm up the headlight cover with a hair dryer, then stick the blighters on.

It's all part of the fun for when crossing the channel.

If you vehicle has a headlight setting for driving abroad it will tell you in the handbook.

Although I am not sure if you get a handbook with a Tesla, as all the info is no doubt available via the interweb !.
