Question UK 97 lensless headlights in Europe

Sorry if I'm asking something AGAIN.

I'm off to Europe next week and just realized that my headlights don't have lenses so I can not blank out bits for driving in Europe.

The reflectors are the directional bits.

What is the propper solution to this and what is the last minute - I'm an idiot - fiddle ?

I'm thinking set dip as low as possible and hope I dont get told off

Thanks in advance
Clint

Cool

You can still do it by blanking: it's a bit trial-and-error, but if you stand the car with the lights on dip, shining on a garage door, say, and put your hand in various places on the lens, you'll see that it works.

When you start, the beams will have this pattern:

\___ \___,

and you're aiming to block out the bits that shine up and to the left, the bits that'll get in Johnny Foreigner's eyes

When you've done it, the beam pattern ought to be:

____ ____

Once you know roughly where the blanking bits need to be, start with bits of black tape until you have the required pattern.
