Headlight deflectors; Anyone know where they go?

I have a pair of the universal headlight deflectors lying around at home and I will need these for a little trip to France I'm taking in the Merc (a 1992 190e 1.8).

Does anyone know where the deflectors should be placed on a 190's headlights? Unfortunately I have lost the instructions the deflectors came with but even then, I'm not sure they had instructions for the rather unique Mercedes headlight size/style.

Thanks a lot.

Which shape deflectors are they, there are a few. Are they the type that look like a cone with a circle on the end ? I think they are the most common.

I can get a photo of some fitted later today if you like.

ok, here ya go. Last time I looked the sticky from my last trip was visible over the whole area, but some of it has come off so OI photoshopped it.

If you look roughly in the middle of the light you will see a tiny square, almost looks like a chip. The is where the top right of the converter goes. Coming down and to the left from that tiny square you see a funny triangle shape in the lense.. Thats the bit you cover with the converter.

The other headlight is the same, ie, they are no symmetrical, it goes on to the left of the tiny square as well.

This is how I have always fitted them and not had a problem, it was based on the instructions. Normal disclaimer, if you run over a frenchman it aint my fault :)
