The correct lights/lenses are the best way to go.

From "MOT inspection manual for class 3, 4, 5 and 7 vehicles (from 20 May 2018)":
Quote:
section 4.1.2 Headlamp alignment
You must inspect all dipped beam headlamps fitted.
The type of headlamp will determine whether the aim must be checked on dipped or main beam (see Diagrams 1, 2 and 3).
A flat top or other alternative headlamp dipped beam pattern is acceptable as long as all of the beam upper edge, including any ‘peak’ is contained within the appropriate tolerance band.
It's acceptable for masks or converter kits to be fitted to right hand dip headlamps to temporarily alter the lamp for use in the UK by removing the beam ‘kick-up’ to the right.
(emphasis mine).
