i have read that some members say the L405 headlights are not very good so its possible that the previous owner has manually adjusted the lights 'upwards' so they illuminate the road a bit more...

@ Alastair - no MOT here but cars have to meet equivalent standards as the UK bar the emissions test. I’ll get the dealer to check it as she is going in for some other bits in a few weeks time.

Ive never driven a ‘322, so I can’t compare, but the headlights on my own L405 are at least as good as the very best headlights that I’ve had before |

As much as it pains me to say it, but yes the headlights in the last of the 322’s were better - but then the surface area of the lights was far greater and far less streamlined 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17 |

Agreed my 2011 L322 headlights were epic, the L405 ones are merely good 2016 (L405) Autobiography in Black with Ivory - for ULEZ

Think we have had that question before and I agree, but short of waiting for Craig to finalise his upgrade there does not seem to be an answer. letters not necessarily in the right order |

These may help... Took some pics of the rear of one i have on the shelf today and there are clearly two adjusters... So, one for Left & Right and the other for Up & Down...

ah my bad..i looked on the L494 workshop manual and it only showed the horizontal adjustment and i thought the self levelling would take care of the vertical adjustment..... |
