Don't bother, you'll never get stopped if you haven't got them.
Its not about being stopped, its about blinding all the oncoming traffic when you have
dipped beam on. Also its compulsory to have dipped beam on at any time when its raining.
How would you feel if a french car came over here and drove around without them? Its similar to an oncoming car with full beam.
For the sake of 2 minutes, and a couple of strips of sticky black electrical tape you might as well do it, as not. You could do it when you are queing for the ferry or tunnel.
Minikeefy does it the same as me, above the 'sloping' line on the left side of both lamps.
