Brambles

[quote:8b51b8ece4="hemlock"]I also have a new Ducato and I had the same problem when I went to France recently. Sad

If you let me know your e-mail address I can send you a diagram as an attachment showing the areas of each headlamp to blank off. It is cheaper than the kit from Halfords(about £7) Very Happy

I have mentioned this on another topic thread but cannot find it at the moment but strongly recommend you do not apply tape directly to the new plastic lenses used on Ducatos. You are more than likely going to end up getting crazing of the lenses due to the heat build up. The safest solution is to use the lense protectors from FIAT. I even suspect they may trap heat on the lense as there would be less air cooling but then you would be able to claim against FIAT if anything hapenned. I am currently in the middle of a fight with then over mine crazing without using any tape at all or lens protectors. When I travel abroad I just adjust my beams lower and use the elsectric adjustment control on dashboard. Probably not legal abroad but....hey.... as long as I do not blind oncoming traffic, and also do not do much driving at night when touring Europe as I stop early to enjoy the evenings. Maybe in winter with cooler air there is not so much of a problem with heat build up.
I also believe the stick on beam benders can also aggrevate the inherent problem with polycarbonate lenses.

Hope this helps, or not I suppose,
Jon.
