The two things are directly linked.  If you have a manual headlight leveller then you don't have adaptive headlights.  So you will need lens stickers for driving in LHD countries.  

For short term, you can just set the level to the lowest setting.  You won't be able to see much, but it should stop oncoming drivers being blinded.

Thank you for clarifying that Tom.

I am in France at the moment and I don't think I will be able to buy suitable stickers - I'd imagine the ones they sell here would be for cars travelling to the UK!  So I will turn the level down as you have suggested. 

Many thanks to both yourself and @unofix for your help and advice.

      It should be on left hand as we drive on the left. It's left hand traffic, not about where the steering wheel is.

      When you set it to left traffic from right, it dips the drivers side headlight slightly and pushes the passengers side up and left a bit. Easiest thing is to park in front of a wall and fiddle, t

    I may be wrong but from what I've read previously on this forum UK RHD headlamps are illegal in France if not fitted with the lens stickers, even if you set them to the lowest level. Even if you don't use them at night you might risk being stopped by an over-zealous gendarme who notices the UK plate and missing stickers.

    However, as I say, I'm ready to be disabused.
