It indeed possible to alter the dip if you remove and dissemble the headlight clusters but I have stopped bothereing and I have never been flashed by on-coming drivers at night, still less stopped by the police.

I would agree that sticking things on the poly carbonate lenses can damage them , it attracts te heat from the blb and the lens can craze where the sticker is , HOWEVER , in some handbooks it gives templates to cut out to make your own masks !

No, I wasn't going to. I'm sure I'll figure out where that lever is from GrantA's picture.

Agree with you about not bothering, but Im only doing it save the fine.

Just found the lever inside the light cover in my MY12 V70. Slightly different to the picture, but even with the light off you can see it does something to the lens.

Thanks all!
