I'm thinking of DIY-ing this for France.
Since there is no pattern marked out on the headlight lens will it be a question of shining the lights against a wall and blocking off a portion of the LH-pointing beam?
Ta....

Simon I don't know if this is any help or not to the coupe?
eurolites I did look at this a little while ago.
There's also this from the
AA checklist

Right Simon you can go first at fitting them
Hi Edinburgh,
Not sure if this info is any use - but the eurolights definetly come with a "map" of where to place them on the Coupe-as I used them on my road trip to Nurburgring
But I cheated...
I didn't put them in the correct spot on the headlights. I off set them a bit As I knew how weak my standard headlights are-I wasn't going to make them any weaker. And knew just how bright most of the modern Audi headlights are that the Europeans drive.
I didn't dazzle anyone with the offset - but had just enough light to cope with oncoming traffic.
People may tut tut - but it ticked the box with the sticker in place- while having a fighting chance on standard headlights.
Let your hands stray left a bit....
Cheers
MM!

I used eurolites on my recent Italian road trip. Diagram 4 position worked just fine. They also came off at the end of the 3 week trip without leaving any residue etc

@MM thanks for that...indeed it says diagram 4 but the shape of the lens cover was confusing me....
