Headlight Deflector for Visiting UK with a European MINI?

Simple question here, hope it isn't too stupid.

I'm aware that, if a UK driver (RHD) vivists Europe, he can buy some "beam deflectors" to adjust the headlights so not to dazzle oncoming drivers. But I have never seen anyone selling beam deflectors that can be used by us LHD drivers when visitng UK.

Have I missed something? Or is it as simple as buying the ones for sale in the UK, and mounting tem upseide down?

Thanks for any advice

Ian

You got Halfords in Belgium - wow!!!

And before you know it, you'll get a Prime Minister who doesn't even know your his own national anthem

Thanks Morty!

Ian

PS - Am I missing something? The website Halfords - Halfords doesn't seem to offer a French option....?

Actually, found the item on the Halfords website, thanks Morty. I would never have guessed that I was looking for a Koplampsticker Engeland. Just have to hope they work equally well in Scotland

By the way, here's the link in case someone else is also looking...

Halfords - KOPLAMPSTICKER ENGELAND

Cheers!

Wow - that's some trip!

No issues with your lights that I can think of (you drive on the same side as we do in Continental Europe, so no need to adjust them.

Depending on where you are going, there are regulations about having first aid kit, spare bulbs, high-visibility jackets and your vehicle documentation etc in the car.

Make sure your insurance covers you outside the USA.

Our speeds are in km not miles - and of course the limits are different in each country, and depending on the type of road and even whether or not it's raining.....

When you coming? And where are you going to visit? I'm sure there are many MINI2 fans will be delighted to welcome you....
