Citroen C5 Headlamp covers - Brian T
I have recently changed my old C5 for a new one. As I travel abroad quite a lot I had purchased a set of headlight covers for the first C5 to, with the appropriate blacked out areas, block the dipped beam to the left. To fix the covers you need to attach some clips to the sides of the headlights. They project over the actual headlight & the cover is then held securly to the clip by a screw which passes through a hole in the cover. To project the headlight from being damaged by the screw a self adesive pad is placed under each of the clips. These pads are produced by 3M. There just enough for the first fitting so I have no pads for this new C5. I have e-mailed Citroen to see if they could tell me where I could buy further pads (not sild separately by Citroen). They suggested Halfords who do not have any suitable pads. I have also e-mailed 3M on two occasions but no response. Can anyone suggest what I can used which will not damage the surface of the headlamp? If you can where do you suggest I try to obtain the item from?

Would something like Sellotape "Sticky fixers" do the job?

How about self-adhesive velcro 'discs' (the 'fluffy' half!)?
