Default European import and headlights question

Hi guys,

Well my bike is a European import and this question has been bugging me for sometime now. The European import means the left light has some black tape over it for the MOT.

However, my question is about the right light. I have attached two photos. One when the bike is on dipped beam (which is how I normally ride) and the other is on main beam (not had to use that yet, since I have not ridden in the dark yet).

When the bike is on main beam, the right light comes on no problem. It is when the light is on dipped beam, that the right light is not on :-S. Which leads to limited light.

So could someone tell me the UK configuration for European headlights since this is bugging me. Mainly I want to know whether the right head light is meant to be off on dipped beam or not. I am not sure if you have access to: http://img163.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=dsc00198nh.jpg which is the gallery.. so I hope so.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Cheers
Kelvin
