This question may sound completey bizarre to readers in some countries, but
here in Europe if you take your car from the UK (right hand drive ) to the
rest of Europe (left hand drive), or vice versa, you have to (by law) mask
off the portion of your headlamp which shines light onto the curb into your
own country, but which shines light into the eyes of oncoming traffic when
your abroad.

Anyone know where I can find out the masking pattern for a UK 2001 V70?

TIA,
Dransfield

Go to your nearest Halfords & pick up there converter kit off the shelf.

Works every time for me (1998 V70).
