Oh sweet, a right-hand steering wheel. I have never seen one of those.
The hi/lo beam switch is on the steering column. On its side, by the ignition switch (which is on top). Both switches are pretty far down the steering column.
Enjoy the digging!

Re: high beam dipper switch

Depends how well the conversion was done I guess. Mine was lacking the dimmer switch, even though a nice little alcove had been built for it in the bottom of the hvac airbox. Actually the airbox (in stock position) has a nice little 'U' carved out of it where the column passes though, and the U is completely paneled in with plastic, no air leaks. It's really a bit of a labour of love on the convertor's part

Instead, there was the Flintstones switch on the floor, and the column rod for the real switch just rattling there, unattached. I fixed it all up proper for column stalk switching several years back.

Has your airbox been switched r to l (full mirror conversion)? If not and it's like mine (TA in my case), you'll have to remove the instrument panel. Then drop the column down from the dash, to access the dimmer and ign switch position on top of the column.
