Adjusting the dip setting
When you look directly at the dip light fitting you can see a dirty bronze coloured piece of metal that sits on the lower half of the lens. This is a small lever that has a small piece of black plastic on it. If this lever is gently pushed up it moves a few mm which cuts off the extra bit of light that could shine in other drivers' eyes when you are driving on the right. It produces a flat top beam, without the 'uplift' found on right hand drive dipped beam.
