Default Adjusting headlights

Yes, seen many posts on this, not one that seems to be my situation though. It's European LHD. High beam is magnificent, Low beam is too short IMO. I haven't found a mechanical adjustment. And my Foxwell can go through many steps and the low beams go up and down and right and left, but they end up where they started. Is it not possible for me to control my on Low beam height?

The workshop manual will be your friend.
Reader’s Digest version:
There are 2 allen head bolts to assist you with the stationary headlamp adjustment. From there, the automated assistance from the headlamp leveling control module offers the dynamic assistance.
The assistance is derived from a series of inputs…. Which brings us to the probable cause of your situation: Check all the ride height sensors.

Incidentally, allow me to add that there is one projector module, meaning you cannot manually adjust the low beam independant from the high beam.

Btw, I like your stable.
Cheers!

Any pictures of 2 allen head bolts, I can only see one per headlight

I wouldn't guess it's the sensors, the low beams ar not that much off?

Hmm... I wouldn't be guessing that and actually checking. It wouldn't be the first time where someone working in the wheel well did something stupid.

And, as luck should have it...
Cheers

BTW, have to attest that I also prefer a different illumination level for my lights.
I have been thinking (and talking) for years on the value of having an additional set of driving lights, perhaps fitted next to the fogs??
But I never got around to it.

In the LR community there is a dual purpose fog lamp available... fog and driving light, independent of one another, yet contained in the same housing. But it would look dumb on the car.

I need my fogs. I use yellow bulbs. I'm guessing in Denmark, you need your fogs (as fogs) too.

Cheers.

Ha! I looked as per your picture, and was ready to go in and write that there was absolutely no such adjustment in that place. Then I found it :-)

Thanks

Me too, I found them. On top: L or R to go up? On the inside: L or R to go L or R?
