Hi all, my MY13 headlamps are supposed to have a lever in the shell somewhere to adjust them for driving on the continent.

Q:- How the hell do you get in there to adjust it? I can't even get the back covers off to have a look due to them being blocked by various other things. MY13 Santorini Black SD4 HSE

Have a look at this thread towards the end. LR say that you don't need to adjust anything, not sure when this came in though. Apparently it's an EU regulation now.

From memory If they did need adjusted you have to remove the headlight which is a very simple job. Just need a 10mm socket to remove 2 bolts on the landing panel for each light then pull the light forward to slide it off the bottom bracket. Unplug wiring if needed. Refitting is the reverse procedure. Should just take a few minutes.

This is also the way to change a headlamp bulb. Don't mess about trying to remove covers you can hardly see - despite what the handbook says.

If they are the same fitting as my old 2007 model, after removing the bolts, there's also a plastic lever you have to lift (or pull, can't remember now) before the lamp will come out. Literally a two minute job to remove the headlamp.

Edit.

Here you go.

Thanks to everyone. I had forgotten how easy it is to remove the headlamp units. MY13 Santorini Black SD4 HSE

My manual for a 2014 model says it's not necessary to change anything. My brother has a newish Honda Civic and he asked Honda about it, the came back to him after a couple of days saying that no changes were necessary when driving abroad as his car was compliant with EU regulations on headlamp adjustment.
Having said that I can't find a reference to EU regs on the internet. Just looked on the AA site but they are more interested in selling beam deflectors. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

All I can say to that is that my manual

(p32)
say that the headlamps need adjusting. So they must have changed something between MY13 and MY14. MY13 Santorini Black SD4 HSE
