Xenon lights have auto-leveling. There shouldn't be a winding button... |

As 'attrs' said, the Xenon lights are auto-levelling, so should not require adjustment up or down. I had a BMW 320 briefly, which had Xenon headlights, and it stated in the handbook that you do not have to alter the beam if taking the motor abroad.

OK, so mine can't be Xenon, as they can be (and were) wound down. There seems to be a lot of confusion here. I must get round to reading the handbook. When LR get round to sending me one. |

You can always read the owners manual on line through Topix.

Contrary to what was in another recent post, it seems that the later style Xenon Headlights do have the Tourist Lever as per older type Xenons. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior |

Easier than that - there's a copy on this site, courtesy of Alex. I just find paper easier to read. |

I am confused. Can someone show me where this tourist lever is in a 2013MY headlamp?

This is where I believe the book is also wrong, this bit is the same in pre 2013 models. The picture of the back/inside doesn't resemble a 2013 headlamp.

There isn't one, as my photo in the post above shows. The book is incorrect in suggesting that there is. 2016 BMW X3 30d SE in red

Easy! Open your bonnet and stamped on each headlight assembly will be headlight type, in my case HID

Thank Stuart! I take a look and only has one label on the left hand side lamp stated LH HAL UK. Does it mean my headlight is halogen and I will need to get to the tourist lever inside the back cover?
