breakaleg Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Hi All, I know this has been mentioned before, but search still ain't working. Not for me anyway. Going to Italy van, went on eBay and found some for a boxer but Im unsure which to order, I have a 56 reg auto sleeper Lancashire, would it be the boxer 3 ? They say they come with beam converters, would this be to apply as and when needed, are the protectors easy to fit. I did email the firm directly 3 or 4 days ago, but not received a reply, would any one know the answers for me please. Many thanks Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Is your Boxer the latest shape (the juddergate one)? If not then it is the Mk2 the Mk1 ran from 94 to 2002 the Mk2 2002 to 2006, the latest being the Mk3. So your year falls in the change over time. This is an example of the Mk2 light covers http://www.formula4x4.co.uk/shop/peugeot-boxer-clear-plastic-egr-headlight-covers-from-formula4/?st=shopp&s=peugeot%20boxer Hope that is of some help.

PJay Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Hi Pete We have these on our Fiat. We leave the beam deflectors stuck to the Headlight protectors. We then just fit the protectors when over the other side, or before getting on the ferry. we take the protectors off, saves keep sticking on,the beam deflectors, as you would need new ones every time (Beam Deflectors) If you want to keep the protectors on all time, sugest you get another set, for UK use, and keep the adjusted ones for abroad Hope this makes sense Pauline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakaleg Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share Posted April 16, 2010 Hi Pauline, I will probbably go down that route eventualy, Just hope i have bought the right one's, only it's exspensive postage to return them, do you use beam benders or masking tape and is it easy to spot where to position it/them. The man at the shop say's that they are easy to fit, just clip on. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covers easy to fit, just open the bonnet, and clip the covers over the headlights They are left/right handed P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakaleg Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 Hi Pauline Hi Flicka, Thanks for all your help, not sure if Beam benders are included with the order or not, guess i will find out for sure on Monday. And thanks Flicka, those are around a tenner cheaper than what i paid, but as Pauline has said earlier, a second pair will save keep peeling beam benders off, so I might just do that. Haven't bothered in the past with them as we have only had about ten days around northern France and Belgium and never traveled at night or through any tunnels. But this time were off, hopefully going to Verona, Rome and Venice and the Italian lakes over three weeks and we may have to drive into the evenings, hope to avoid toll roads, but unsure of the route, we tend not to plan, have been know to get off the ferry and then decide where to go.

breakaleg Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 Hi Guys, It was April 2010 when I started this post? Never did get to Italy, two days before we were due to go, got rushed into hospital where I spent a Month, took a long time to recover then my wife was taken in for a operation, she was just getting over that and had to go in for another operation, thought about going this year and my mother in law hasn't been well, just be happy for a trip to the park at the moment. lol Headlight deflectors are still o.k though.

PJay Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Hi Pete Sorry to hear your troubles, sure you'll get there one day. Re the topic, as it has been re-activated. Our head light protectors, are just about on there last legs, due to OH cracking them., but been fine for 6 years, so don't owe us anything. Will probably get some more, as ours are now stuck to-gether with sticky tape, and as we don;t normally drive at night, not really a problem, except this year we have needed head lights on in the murky weather we had in France, last month PJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJay Try here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251120913947?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 I got some a few weeks ago - easy to fit and good quality. They come with 2 lots of black stickers for abroad, or if you're feeling flush, get 2 sets, one for UK and one for Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gocro Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 When I fitted my protectors to the van the passenger side wouldn't clip in place. The clips fit into a recess on the headlamp body and mine was solid with no recess, I had to gouge out some of the plastic to make it fit, I then used a 3mm drill to go through the clip and into the body then finally secured with a stainless self-tapper.
