Changing the region would cause an undesirable effect and possible glare oncoming drivers.
Also, I want to mention that GFHB is very rudimentary in its operation is not an infallible feature. There might be slight glare here and there.
Even in the UK, where this feature is fully allowed stock, BMW was warned to not confuse the masses by referring to it as "GLARE FREE."
So a little light leakage is more a less naturally expected and not necessarily a hardware or coding fault.

I actually wasn't talking about switching to UK.
I was thinking of switching the lights via VO from US to Europe.
Reasoning: hoping light output goes up (as in the US it is crippled).
