Default Headlights conversion ? UK to EU

Hey, is it possible to do something to the headlights that are made for the UK traffic, to make them compatible to use in the EU. I heard something about this today, but im doubting that its true. I've seen some Audi a6 headlights with a metal blind inside the headlight at work, but I don't thing 2GS has those ?

I just bought US-spec headlights and am having them retrofitted since I'm moving to Germany in Nov with my UK-spec GS430. But, there should be a way to adjust them since I know some of the military people in the UK bring their US-spec vehicles and are able to drive them.

I think it's impossible to just change the beam of the lights like you can do with some BMW's.
But please correct me if I'm wrong.

I did it the "hard" way and retrofitted them. My GS430 is from UK.

Unfortunately not... I've only seen it performed on the base while they were getting the MOT inspections.
