I can already switch beam to suit LHD. (I think it isn't actually 100% -
rather it avoids blinding oncoming but doesn't operate quite as well as
true LHD headlamps.)

It would also be rather sensible for high intensity rear lamps and
reversing lights to also be able to switch appropriately.

Other than security issues (you wouldn't want anyone playing about with
your settings while you are driving, would you?), it should be quite
simple to achieve. Until someone changes a rule somewhere... Or forgets
the unlikely possibility of the tunnel train having to reverse back and
disembark everyone - but the headlamps are still on LHD settings...
