Metro HG129-00 Beam Benders Scheinwerfer Abkleber, Ultra

Unsuitable for my Skoda Octavia with led lights

Achtung, Produktbeschreibung genau lesen. Für UK (mit Euro Scheinwerfern) und für Europa (Aus UK kommend) verwendbar. Wer nach UK fährt muss die Teile um 180° drehen ! Sie halten gut, auch bei Regen. Sind aber etwas teuer. (ca. 12 €)Auf der Fähre nach UK hätte es ähnliche günstiger gegeben. Wer aber sicher vorher schon etwas taugliches haben möchte kann das Geld investieren.

Auch wenn die Beam Benders in der Beschreibung nur die Richtung UK - EU angeben: es geht auch andersherum, das wird allerdings kleingedruckt…Wichtigster Hinweis hierzu: die abgeflachten Kanten müssen dann einfach nur nach oben zeigen! Pin auf pin und die kreisrunden Bereiche zur Deckung mit dem Abblendlicht bringen.Es gab mit Dauerfahrlicht keinen einzigen Aufblender vom Gegenverkehr bis hoch nach Schottland :-)Leider nur einmal verwendbar…

Habe keine Veränderung des Scheinwerferbildes feststellen können. Nur Klebespuren auf den Scheinwerfern bleiben.

Lieferung wie gewohnt bei Amazon sehr fix.Beim auspacken fiel auf, das die Produktverpackung nicht verschlossen war. Prompt fehlten auch die Klebestrips für die Plastik-Flachlinsen. Reklamiert, aber statt der Nach- oder Neulieferung erfolgte nur eine Gutschrift, die wiederum Amazon-üblich sehr schnell erfolgte.Daher 2 Sterne für die Reklamationsabwicklung, 0 Sterne für das Produkt.

I’ve been travelling to France for years by car in a RAV4. First time I have tried these for the headlights. As others have said you can actually see how the beam is bent. Easy to put on and no annoying residue left on when removing. Went through rain and snow and no trouble with adhesion. First time I have not been flashed by other cars. Fab product.

Für den England-Urlaib waren die Kleber sehr gut. Es hat gut funktioniert mit dem Anbringen.Nur, wenn man sie ein 2. Mal benutzen möchte, muss man die Trägerfolie aufheben, das hatten wir nicht bedacht.Das Entfernen war etwas schwierig, sie halten wirklich gut.

Das wirklich gute an diesen Bendern ist, das sie keinen dunklen Spot erzeugen. Außerdem sind sie sehr langlebig. Fahrzeug: Skoda Felicia mit H4

These have been on for 24 hrs, had some rain now these have water underneath them!Not enough material around the converter to seal properly. Not good.

They work reasonably well, no-one flashed their lights at me so presumably mine were not dazzling people with the benders in place. They do seem to give better illumination of the edge of the road than you get with conventonal converters that simply block the light.One word of warning (this is the only reason I give 4 it stars instead of 5) - the adhesive patch that comes with the benders is useless, or at least certainly for contoured lights, so make sure that you have some wide and waterproof clear tape to use instead, in order to make sure that they stay in place. The first time I used these (last year), one blew off within hours of getting off the ferry (yes, I did clean the lenses thoroughly and leave the lights on for 15 minutes before sticking them on) and the second one fell off in the rain at the campsite a couple of days later.

We've been driving to the Continent over the past 20 years, 2-3 times a year. We’ve tried literally all headlights adaptors available (both beam benders and beam blockers). We’ve been using Metro Beam Benders Ultra (Part No. HG129-00) for the past 3 years and for us they are the best. Our local high-street moto shop stopped selling them so for the last two purchases we’ve been buying these on Amazon (from Motorcount Ltd seller).PROS- They bend the light beams, not just obscure them, hence you can see things on the right of the road and the overall light intensity is not reduced much. You will appreciate how important this is when trying to read road or hotel signs in the middle of the night. This is near impossible to do when using blocking adaptors which do not bend the light beams.- Work well on modern curved headlights (at least on our cars). This is because they are fixed to the headlights using a large sticky cover going over the plastic beam bender. This provides large area where the cover sticks to the headlight, which then allows the beam bender to be held in place even when it has to be bent to align with the curvature of the headlight.- Ideal for long-term use since they hold on really well, even in rain and hot weather. We use these regularly over 6-week summer holidays, they hold on as well in week 6 as they do on day 1. Since the beam benders are enclosed by the sticky cover, this system copes well with moisture/rain/snow, the grip does not weaken over time. With other beam benders, which have sticky tape on their backs, the glue tends to melt over time or sticky tape on the back detaches, causing the bender to eventually fall off the headlight.- Less stressful and more accurate fitting. When trying to position these beam benders, you do this with sticky flaps still covered by protective backing tape. With backing tape on, the beam benders don’t yet stick to the headlight, so you can move beam benders around the headlight to find the best position. I do this with headlights on so I can see the effect of beams being bent, but you don’t have to, just put the positioning ‘pip’ right in front of the headlight bulb (there usually is a little dot on the headlight). Once you have the final position, hold the beam bender in place, remove the protective tape from each of the 4 flaps around it (one at the time), then press on the flaps and the beam bender is fixed in place. No need to lift it off the headlight. Fixing 1-2 flaps initially will hold the beam deflectors in place, check the fit and if good, fix with the remaining flaps. If not right, individual flaps can be easily detached from the headlight and you can try again. With some other products, once the beam adaptor touches the headlight, it cannot be easily removed, you have to keep it in whatever position you put it on first time.- They can be removed easily even after 6 weeks of use, leaving absolutely no marks and no glue residue on the headlights. With some other beam adaptors we’ve tried, the glue would melt and etch into the plastic headlights due to long-term exposure to sun and heat, leaving marks on the headlight, causing cosmetic damage and hassle with removal.- Can be reused if stored carefully. While not advertised as such, once you’ve removed these beam benders, you can stick them together and keep for future use (keep away from dirt/dust) – see the attached picture. When these are needed again, just take them apart and fix back to the headlights. Using this method we get to re-use ours once or twice before the glue wears off or (more likely) they get too dirty. Excellent value for money.CONS- Somewhat pricey, but well worth the money IMO.- Larger and more obvious than other beam adaptors.The attached photos show:- beam benders fixed on headlights- packaging: full cover and instructions inside (sorry about the oil stain in the middle)- a pair of used beam benders stuck together for future reuse (BTW, this is how they look after being used for 5 weeks, some dirt around the edges otherwise ok!)

Cleaned headlamps thoroughly, nice and warm as they had been on for several hours before arriving at port, carefully applied taking care to make sure there were no air bubbles under the adhesive. Lost the first beam bender on the way up the M1 within a few hours, the second fell off at the campsite 2 days later when it rained. So if you use them, make sure you use your own weatherproof tape to stick them on. Despite the claim they fit all headlamps, they don't, it is not possible to align the drivers side properly on a LHD Peugeot Partner Teepee, you can't keep the flat section horizontal to the ground.Phares nettoyé à fond, chaud comme ils l'avaient été allumé pendant plusieurs heures avant d'arriver au port, appliquées avec soin en prenant soin d' assurer qu'il n'y avait pas de bulles d'air sous l'adhésif. Perdu la première sur le chemin jusqu'à l'autoroute M1 en quelques heures, le second est tombé au camping 2 jours plus tard, quand il pleuvait. Donc, si vous les utilisez, assurez-vous que vous utilisez votre propre bande résistant aux intempéries pour les coller sur. Malgré l'affirmation qu'ils conviennent à tous les projecteurs, ils ne le font pas, il est impossible d'aligner le côté conducteur correctement sur un Peugeot Partner Teepee avec volant à gauche - vous ne pouvez pas garder la section plane horizontale au sol.
