Yep, I can confirm that, being as I live in Germany I have a continental light on mine.
swapping over the connectors isn't really goin g to have the desired effect as it is the reflector behind the bulb and the lens that produce the beam. This is why I've had to buy an extra set of headlights every time I buy a new car which is great at 250 quid a pop.
I'm surprised that this doesn't get picked up when your bike is MOT'd because your headlights are set up as you say for European roads and as such are illegal in UK.
I'd say your best bet is to look on Ebay for a UK light, there always seem to be a few of them around - thats what I'll be doing next time I am posted back to the UK.
