Added D2 to protect the MOSFET when the solenoid turns off, although it probably isn't needed since the driver doesn't turn off quickly. For another couple of pennies you may as well add it in.
I don't know what kind of parts you have at your disposal, so select a MOSFET to handle the 2.5A current, you can search for one on mouser.com or digikey.com if you're able to buy parts that way, or find one from whatever sources you have available over there. The 2.5A is just a momentary peak current, so you could get away with a smaller rating since it's not on very long, and it won't heat up much from it.
This provides a momentary (-) pulse to the strong pull in coil and then shuts it back off, leaving the hold coil to keep the shutter open until you turn off the high beam switch again.


Thanks
