Hi there

I have a Mk 2 which Iv'e been using the universal beam banders now for a few years and have never been that impressed with the beam deflection, however just come across temporary headlamp masking in the TIS manual which you print off the templates for both lamps and then use black tape to mark off the exact position on the lamps, unlike beam benders a bit hit or miss where you stick them, I'm going to try this when I go to Germany next month + it's got to be cheaper than beam benders.

Not sure if the MK 3 lights are the same MK 2 may be worth a try.

Mk3 headlights are definitely different to Mk2.

Have a look at the attached. Be careful of the page breaks - the templates you need are the bottom 2 (descriptions of which is which are above each diagram!)

Please note, if you have the 'steering' headlamps, the masking is different.

thanks for sending the diagram for the deflectors, not too good at the maths though

Great diagrams. Can I use them for Xenons or do they only apply to regular headlights?

Re Xenon lights. Don't know about Mk3, but other Ford cars with Xenon lights had a lever at the back to switch from left to right dip. Your dealer should be able to advise you. Am not at work now for a couple of weeks, so can't check there. What does it say in your user guide?
