hi
Am planning to travel to the continent. I have a MY16 HSE: Can the light beams be adjusted for driving on the right side or do I need to buy some of these light stickers?

I'd be interested in this too.
So far I have driven over there during the day so only my running lights have been on and when used at night it has been local roads in the sticks so no drama there.

How can that be?
My MY16 dips to the left (as any RHD car will do) so, without adjustment or reprogramming, it will dazzle those that driver that insists on driving on the wrong side of the road! 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: FL2 as a second car
2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!

MY16 Adaptive xenon here and there is a very definite, extremely well defined, kick up to the left.
It's very clear to see as where I live is very dark at night and there is a plain white wall I park next to at night. I'll take a photo this evening and post it up 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2

I wonder if the adjustment of Auto high beam system for LH or RH driving does in fact alter the shutter in the lamp as well, although the handbook would appear to state otherwise.

It is not linked to high beam assist or AFS...neither my rrs or d4 has either (just plain old xenons) but still no adjustment or fablon required....just does not require adjustment

Adaptive xenons do not apparently need stickers on them, on D3 there is a touring switch inside the lamp unit. Not sure on D4 though
I do have a set of continental headlights for a D3 if anybody is interested

I was only looking for this earlier on today, but on the D3 with adaptive lamps and there does not appear to be any lever at all inside the lamps?

Now the nights are drawing in I have just reset my D3 for UK, forgot about them having been to Germany. The small lever is difficult to see if you don't know what to look for. It is right down the side of the xenon lamp unit .

I'm reading this and many other posts and cannot make head nor tail of half of what is written due to references of M12 D3 D4 etc etc and not knowing whether that refers to the model I have .
Can anybody give me an idea of what I have been driving for the last nine years, different one every three years the latest was bought at the end of March and is a Discovery 3litre SE Tec Auto.
Previous Disco's were XS and SE.

I can find nothing that can tell me about adjusting headlights on my present vehicle, perhaps a little clue from someone

You have a MY15 or 15MY (2015 Model Year) D4 (Discovery 4) and that your headlamps will be standard xenon units (unless you paid extra to have the active version of the headlamp and / or auto dipping).
Unfortunately, I still can't help you with the adjustment to driving on the wrong side of the road  2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
