I'm getting a bit off being flashed at night by everyone who thinks I am dumb enough to drive with my main beam on all the time so it's clear my fantastic and very bright dipped lights must be set too high Can the latest style headlights be adjusted DIY or this another thing the dealer has to do

andy, this is for a pre-facelift range but might be applicable to yours as well..

On a different note, I have "High Beam Assist" (or somesuch name) on my latest FFRR that turns on high beam automatically. As useless as a chocolate teapot.

Stan: Thanks I had already read this and hoped mine was the same but it appears all is very different in a 2010MY

Emperor Mong: I had heard that too If a jobs worth doing.............

as the headlight levelling 'could' be faulty , i would think it'll be a warranty job then andy..

Strange one my High Beam Assist works great , in fact SWMBO'd hates me for having it as she has not got it on her XF  ====================================

"Open Mike Night " sounded like a lot of fun until i found out i was going to an Autopsy

Mick, I find it turning on when there are cars coming the other way - particularly on dual carriage ways. Also, it confuses the hell out of me. i turn on the high beams myself and then see a car coming. I turn off the high beam but they stay on. WTF? Oh! HBA has decided I still need high beam. Pull the stalk as though flashing to cancel it. But at that moment the HBA turns off so you end up dazzling then flashing the por coming the other way.

Luckily it can be turned off altogether - and now is!

Andy, as its still under warranty i would take it in and have it checked by your dealer as you should have levelling ECU's amongst other gismo's to keep the lights from blinding other road users...

Yes they could be set incorrectly but its best to check the expensive bits first, i get asked every month to check adjustments on customers headlamps as they get flashed alot...

Cheers Craig, many thanks for the advice

Was a little concerned, as with many threads, we were heading a bit "off topic"

Will give the dealer a call.

Also worth checking that the lights are both set to dip for driving on the left. letters not necessarily in the right order
