Default UK Headlight masking for Europe

The right place for stickers
Please can someone tell me or supply a photo or diagram showing the right place for the dip beam blanking for a UK 4.2 XK150 being driven in France for a couple of weeks.

The headlights are easily changed from Right-Drive to Left-Drive and back again. I think the instructions are in the User Manual.
Is that what you're after?

Ya - page 62, requires removing the headlights.

Mine is a very early 2007 model. There’s no mention in the manual of the adjustment mentioned. ☹️
Any other suggestions please?

Yes, you have to do the headlight removal, but that takes literally one minute per side. Remove the mounting screws (one behind the headlight in the wheel well area beneath the liner). Then flip a lever. Done.

That would make a ton of sense for ALL European cars, Jag or not. I do notice a slightly higher beam on the right side of my US spec, the oncoming lane gets the slightly lower beam. Not by much though.
I personally wouldn't worry about it regardless. There are millions of people all over the world driving with wonky headlight aiming.

That's because those people have wonky heads!
