I don't know where you can buy them but they are very easy to fit.

The instructions are with them.

Try a car accessories shop, ask for "reflectores conversor para faros". Or go onto Amazon.es and put the same words into the search bar.

Hi

Sounds good, perhaps we can buy from you if that's ok.  Do you know if they fit a Rava 4?  Thanks for your help

Denise. 

If you look on you tube you may find that your vehicle is fitted with a lever inside the headlight which you simply move downwards. 

This moves your headlight beam from the left which is needed in the UK to the central position which conforms to EU (Spain) regulations.

 I bought those beam deflectors for my mercedes on the ferry on the way over only to find out I had those levers fitted inside my headlights. There are lots of examples on you tube of how to do it. 

Type in 'switch UK headlights to EU'. Hopefully yours can be switched without having to buy the deflectors. 

If you keep your car over here in Spain and put it on Spanish plates it wont pass the I.T.V with the deflectors on. 

I hope this helps

Hi again,

thanks so much for the help, we will try this today.  I actually contacted Toyota yesterday to ask this question but so far they haven't responded.

Fingers crossed they have this fitted to our car and problem solved.

thanks Denise
