Default Headlight lefthand righthand side dip ???

I bought a 2008 R1200 GS in England and want to register it in Germany.
Is the headlight set up for left hand side driving and need to be replaced with a right hand side driving headlight?
I know sportsbikes have a flat beam,so they don't need changing.

I have a UK spec GS and want to register it in Germany.
Is the headlight on a 2008 R1200 GS a flat beam or do they make them for left hand side driving and right hand side driving?

You can adjust it yourself, refer to the owners manual for info on how to do it.

I have looked in the owners manual,it only says it can be adjusted and should be done by a workshop.
I guess any workshop with a headlight alignment machine can do it.

The lens on my '05 looks like it is flat. Left/right can be adjusted by a twist knob control on the upper right side of the rear of the housing. I'd aim the lamp against a wall to see how it is focused and then decide what to do from there.

I just got a new headlight,the difference is the reflector inside the lamp.
