LED Headlights.

[dridgeyboy]

Evening everyone.
Whats the opinion of knowledgeable ones on putting beam benders on the latest full LED headlights such as those on the latest Ducato?
is there a special position to put them when driving 'over there'?or is it not possible with these type of lights? No mention in the handbook about it.

Thank you all.

Is your vehicle listed on the beam bender instructions?

Check on a wall or garage door if the lights have a kick up to the left or are they flat across the beam?

Chances are the LED headlamps don't have a 'kick up' on dip beam....meaning the dip beam is flat topped and won't dazzle at all.
Easy to check.drove up to a wall/garage door etc when dark.
Stop around 3ft to 4ft away and turn on dip beam.
Look along the top of the beam pattern.
If it's flat all the way across it won't need benders.
If it kicks up at the left hand side it does need benders.

Dont worry about it. Been going to Spain for the last 10 years and i haven't bothered. I just lower the lights if driving at night, which isn't that often to be honest.

I didn’t bother this year either. Don’t drive at night. Had some in the glovebox just in case.

Same. I have the Eurolites thingies in the cab somewhere, but I rarely drive after dark.

I did try using high powered LED bulbs in mine, but the fag of changing them for every MOT got too much.

I have thought of changing the entire light housing assemblies for solely LED ones, but I am not sure if they will fit as a straight swap, or mess up the warning lights on the dash.
