Allows you to cover part of the beam pattern for driving on the continent

Page 123 of the Omega Handbook, gives information about this lever: It's for use when driving on the continent!
Left Hand Drive vehicles: Left Hand Headlamp lever should be moved down and the Right hand headlamp lever should be moved up.
and the opposite settings for Right Hand Drive vehicles (I assume that means vehicles driving on the right hand side of the road)
It saves you having to buy those beam deflectors on the ferry (which you forget to take off when putting the car through the MOT - and it still passes!)
