Headlight deflectors for overseas driving.

Does anyone have an OEM pair of these?

I would like to know if you can peel off the black sections that are stuck to the perspex covers?

Can anyone advise please?

Many thanks mate but i need to know if the black segments can be removed altogether from.the genuine OEM deflectors. Thanks anyway.

the answer is no, they can't - at least if they can it's not obvious. I wasn't specifically looking to see if they could be peeled off though. Not sure why you'd want to though. If you just want some headlight protectors then they are/ were and accessory that does come up from time to time. Besides the deflectors are only for the (non projector) dipped beams, leaving the mains unprotected.

Which headlights do you have as all the projector models can be switched to lhd for temporary use abroad...

I had a set, and they're definitely painted on, rather than tape.

I am proposing a UK visit in July with my ZT-T (ex SN06 FOC that I converted to LHD new headlights when we came to Portugal.) We would be driving through Spain & France via the Chunnel, then M25; M1; M6 and M74. So I would require the lights to be acceptable for RHD in the UK. I still have my 'old' RHD lights but am not really keen on refitting them for this event. What options are open to me, please?

I had a set as we go to France a lot. However, the mode of fitting was not great and one just came off somewhere. Would not recommend. Black PVC tape is just as good in any event.
