Took my curvy apart last night to mod my euro spec headlight.
Have no pictures but now have flat beam from my projector instead of a left hand flick

I was thinking of taking pics but the kids where under the feet.
Heated the light in the oven for 3 mins at gas mark 2
Pried it open with a large flat screwdriver
Unscrewed the 2 Phillips screws holding on a pivot point
Unscrewed the adjustment screws to release the projector
The lightbulb housing is held on by the casting version of plug welding. I filed this down the pried it off with a small flat headed screwdriver
I used some aluminium can to make the blanking plate. I drilled through that and the casting with a 3mm metal bit.
That was screwed in place with a screw.
To reattach the reflector I drilled it out to 3mm and then used screws to hold it in. I then tested the light on the bike and got a flat beam just need to see if it passes an MOT
