Hello,

We are travelling to Switzerland in May going through France and many other countries, could anybody please help regarding the headlight beam deflectors.

We have a 2008 Fiat Ducato and was wondering were isthe best place to get these from.

Thankyou.

Sue,

You can get beam deflectors from Halfords.

I bought headlamp protectors for my new MH and with these came some black tape to put in the marked area on the headlamp protectors. This takes the guessing out of putting on beam benders.

I'm not sure if the beam benders (stick on) will have diagrams for the new Fiat Ducato headlamps.

Hi Zulurita,

Thanks for the info we have a brand new Autotrail Tracker EKS my other half would like to know are they easy to fit.

Did you buy yours from Fiat.

Thanks.

The stick on ones - clear rubbery plastic- come from Halfords and are now complete with the instructions for the new Ducato and easy to fit.

The polycarbonate headlamp protectors are supplied with black tape and the area to be taped is marked clearly. They cost us about £50 the pair from Fiat - again for the new shaped Fiat headlamps. They have to be wheedled around to fit but that might have changed.

When you consider the cost of a new headlamp they are probably worth it.

I got caught out last year needing them for France and Spain.

Really confusing stuff on the packet from Halfords, then when I worked it out and got to the front of the van, they were already well stuck on there and have remained there since.

Yes I did buy them from Fiat, or to be more accurate from Chelston Motorhomes, Wellington, Somerset, they service fiat motorhomes.

As in another post they cost £50 plus. They are not as easy to fit as on my previous mh (those just clipped on). The design of the new Fiat cab/headlamps means a little more is involved to fit these headlamp protectors. When I saw that i decided to let Chelston Service Centre fit them.

We bought ours from Fiat dealer. Cost about £50+ but they do give another layer of protection to the headlight, which is a very expensive unit to replace. If you polish the headlamp protector with Mer before you stick on the black patch, you can then easily peel it back off and reuse it several times.
