Can anyone recommend a place in Orihuela Costa to buy headlamp deflectors for LHD vehicle that will be going to the U.K. 

I’ve tried Amazon, nothing suitable as far as postage is concerned. Norauto and Carrefour don’t appear to stock them either.

Thanks

If you're going by ferry then they sell them on the ships, both the ones from Spain and the ones across the channel. €12.55 on Amazon Spain for ones to use in UK.

 Morning, 

Thanks for the reply. I did see the ones on Amazon but the postage date is after our departure date so I can’t rely on them. Going through the tunnel. I suppose if push come to shove there will be petrol stations in Calais/Folkestone that will sell them.

What car do you have as not all cars need beam deflectors.

Thanks everyone for helping out with this.

After being asked about the type of car that I had I started a bit of digging. I wasn’t aware of the difference that Full LED lights made. Anyway, the good news is that as mentioned above, I don’t need to mask off the lens.

Glad you checked. Most cars have flat beams these days. That's why deflectors are not required.
