Headlight Beam Deflectors

Does anyone know where to get headlight beam deflectors for driving on the Continent? My local suppliers only keep them for modern cars and not for 7" round lights.

Assuming you have the modern H4 lookalikes I would guess as per the drawing. At least it would show willing
The original Tripods relied on the position on the dip beam filament to direct the beam down and to the left, so LH bulbs would have been in order. Interesting article
