Projector Headlights

Can anyone with the MY11 model, or later, tell me if the Projector Headlights are adjustable for Continental driving, the handbook clearly shows the adjusting lever on the Xenons but no mention of the Projector Style.

I think you will find that it is only the Xenons that are adjustable. The manual is far from clear on this point which resulted in me spending ages taking the headlights out and looking for adjuster levers which were not there! John

Projector lamps on the D4 are adjustable by a lever inside the headlamp unit, unless you have an HSE model then you can adjust them via the dashboard without getting your hands dirty.

Can't see why the FL2 would be any different but then again it is a Land Rover Laughing ______________________

I did the same when I had an 07 one, as you say, the manual is far from clear. I'm trying to find the answer for someone else. No point in taking mine out as they are Xenons, so what I really need is someone with Projectors who has had the unit out and tried it Question

First post - but I hope it helps you. Projectors lamps on the FL2 cannot be adjusted for continental driving as per the zenons - you have to use the dreaded tape stuck on the front of the glass.
Great site, excellent info and help for the unwary - of which I am one.
