Beam converters - Dave N

When I come back to blighty for a visit, I need to stop the lights dazzling. But my lights (Isuzu D-Max 2008) are those funny ones like a Ford Puma - clear lens, no reflector, and the bulb sits behind a sort of round glass ball. So how do I convert them for driving on the left?

I spoke to Isuzu here and they didn't seem to understand what I was talking about.

Dave, where is the car registered? From what you describe they are projector type headlights. Is there nothing in your driver's manual?

Registered in Sweden, and yes, they're projector lights. I couldn't remember the name last night. Book says nothing unfortunately, even with my ropey Swedish.

I had a lok at a Ford Scorpio site, and they have a little lever, but I just looked at mine and couldn't see any lever on the back of the lamp.

I'll do that, thanks for the info. I'm driving down to Calais, then taking the tunnel. I've got 4 dogs, so it's easier to take the quickest/easiest crossing. It's 1000 miles, and takes about 30 hours door to door with a few hours kip along the way.
