Headlights in france!

Hi! Am planning to take a little trip to the continent and was wondering how I would go about changing the dip on my lights. Sounds like a stupid question i know, but I have a small street fighter fairing/light unit with projector beam lights, one for dip and one for full. Can't see what I could stick on a small glass ball (basically what the front of the light is!) to convert it.

Any ideas people?

You usually have some sort of widget behind the fairing that allows you to dip and angle to suit

failing that, bend the fairing? Razz

Get the bike facing a wall or garage door at night, nice and close. Then you can see where the beam is pointing. If it's almost straight then you will probably get away with it. If you need to adjust it but cannot, then try using tape to obscure parts of the lens so the light doesn't shine in the eyes of oncoming traffic to your left.
