Headlights dipping to the right.

So on the 14th December we arrived in Spain for the winter. Stupidly, no comments please, I didn't put the deflectors on my headlights.
Would anyone have any dipping to the right headlights or the correct deflectors.
I've just had a look at the price of headlights and being over the age of seventy with a repaired heart I nearly fell off my perch when I saw the price. It a little Boxster pictured below. Any help greatly received. I can be emailed at:-
marshdc2@yahoo.co.uk or my number here in the house in Cervera del Maestre is 0034 964 865 508 or my mobile is a uk 'phone and is 07743 245678.
Thank you for reading this, I really don't want to get in trouble on the few occasions I go out in the evening with the Guardia Civil.
 
Take a look at your handbook and see if your headlight units can be ‘switched’ over to the other side at the back of the headlamp unit... not all can be, apparently [;)]
 
I'll take a look tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure there's nothing showing to do the alternate beam.
Thank you for getting back to me.

 
I think the switchable lights were an optional extra - the litronic headlight pack. It is not an external visible switch though - you have to pull the headlight unit out to get to the lever (see handbook). If that's not the case you can apply an area of opaque tape - electrical tape works well - in a wedge shape to block out the upward sweep of light to the left. It is usually the lower righthand side of the lamp which needs covering to achieve this. You can monitor the effect by facing a wall with lights on to check it ends up a level beam.
Hope you can work it out - Merry Christmas.
