I have to say that I disagree that they don't need a deflector or adjustment because my headlamps definitely have a kick up on the left side. So adjustment is necessary. MY13 Santorini Black SD4 HSE |

Do you have halogen or xenon?, Halogen are definitely flat beam from MY13 unless the shutter mechanism is not horizontal as it should be, xenon are not and have a lever. |

Mine must be Xenon. My handbook has the adjustment for continental driving described.

From new HSE's came with halogens only. Xenons were an optional extra. If you have a headlamp level switch inside the car then yours from factory came with halogens. Xenons are self levelling so no need for the scroller switch.

Well that's confused the hell out of me now. I just took off the headlamp and they don't have a lever but they are labelled as HAL.

I'm still confused. As I like to carry spare bulbs with me, I have never heard of HB3. I can see H11 Osram Night Breaker which is mentioned earlier in this thread, which look the same. http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/H11-OSRAM...search=car
