    Can anyone direct me to a web site in Ireland that sells Beam benders for a LHD car to pass its NCT. Brought the car back from the US last year and it needs an NCT. Spoke to a guy at the NCT and he says that I need to put beam benders on. All the beam benders I can find are for RHD cars going to European countries.

    regards

    And you've been driving since you arrived with the beams pointing at the oncoming traffic?! Thank God for the NCT!

    There just pieces of plastic that you fit on the front of the the headlights that deflect the beam. all the ones I have seen are for RHD cars going to France or Germany so that your headlights dont dazzle oncoming traffic.

    I have an 01 PT cruser....

    You can buy them in motor factors or places like Halfords, and there's only one type. Read the instructions.

    The second poster is right: you should not (by law) be driving without them.

    I got them online!!!
    Halfords dont have them...
    They are not the same, they have them for LHD or RHD. Easy to finde them for RHD here in Ireland and Uk but not the other1s!
