General Stilo Headlight Protectors

Re: Beam Deflectors

I think if you get a set of headlamp protectors from Fiat you can mask off the main beam area for driving on the right hand side of the road..... I think:idea:

:chin: ....but surely if you can mask the protector then it follows you can also mask the standard (glass) cover.

I always prefer to use masks mirrored on the inside as that way you don't lose any light output

True indeed - my point is you don't have to bung "stuff" onto your headlights if you don't want to. ie. - there's a choice.

Ive seen a few protectors in halfords and such but with the stilo being a funny shape headlight and no lines on the glass to follow i thought it would be a arse to do lol

Sorry, misunderstood your post

So you're saying you can buy headlamp protectors which already have beam correction for continental driving.

If that's the case then I'd like to get a pair

Re: Beam Deflectors

I'll have another look at the headlamp protectors in the daylight.....and try and take a piccie for posting..... but I'm 99% sure they have the area you can mark out for beam correction for continental driving

Re: Beam Deflectors

hi, the original fiat headlight protectors i have on my 5 door came with 3 sets of stickers that you use to overlay onto the protectors to convert the beam - this is marked out on the plastic protector - there are 2 different shapes, one for nearside and 1 for offside.

sicne it only comes with 3 sets, maybe you either a) have only enough for 3 trips(!), b) leave the stickers on the protectors permanantly and remove the protectors or c) find an alternative adhesive convertor material when the orginal 3 sets have been used.

hope this helps,

:yeahthat:

That's what I have.... although mine didn't come with the stickers It's a reasonably elegant solution.
