Right hand dip - clear lens?

[Biggles]

I have a Zafira, which has clear headlight lenses. I need to convert to
right hand dip for a (1 day) trip abroad. What are the options - converter
lens, replacement bulbs, hidden switch/adjustment?

Thanks

Do you really need to convert? There's always the not bothering option.

Very antisocial, though.

....and on one recent Eurotunnel trip, the French police were
pulling over eveyone without obvious beam converters and
making them fix it before proceeding. Never seen a French
registered car this side of the channel that's been
converted however...

BTW, if you use anything sticky to do the job and you have
plastic headlamps, *don't* try carb cleaner to remove the
residue! Cost of my stupidity - 100UKP.

Your car will not be roadworthy in the country you are visiting. Say,
for example, you visit France for the day, as you come of the ferry
the local police wait outside the terminals and nab the peeps without
headlamp converters.

I had this issue with our Zafira. Went to Vauxhall dealer (Davy Vauxhall in
Basingstoke) who photocopied a page from their technical services bulletin
giving the dimensions and location to mask on the lamps. I also bought the
masking kit from them, and they were about 50p dearer than Halfords.

I left the plan in the service book went the car went back off lease or I'd
offer to let you have it.

That could be awkward on my car - with projector beam headlights. they
adjust by pysically moving the lense (there's a switch behind the headlight
for doing this). I suppose I could just open the bonnet and demonstrate to
the frog copper.....

After a long search and a response from a kindly individual on another board, I have the masking info for the Zafira. If you need it, drop me a line.

I'm sorry but I had no success obtaining the template. I have been told that on some models there is a lever in the engine compartment near the RH & LH headlights which you can adjust for continental driving. A friend who is in the motor trade has enquired for me with his sources but because everything is computerised these days there are no manuals with the template we need. I have found a source - www.motor-world.co.uk supply a kit called Super Beam Benders for £6.99. If there is is a shop near you, they might have them -you can look up your nearest shop on their site. I have bought them and they will do the job on the clear headlights very well. Bobba
