Headlight types, and driving abroad...
This year we're off to Spain, and I've got a question about adjusting the lights for continental driving.
In the system menu (the dash one), I can change the lights to be for LHD or RHD, is this all that's needed? I did have a poke around the back of the lights to see if the manual adjuster is there, but I never found it.
Cars a 2016 Disco4, and it's got different DRL lights that I've seen on <2014 models.
Does this model need manually adjusting?

I’m driving mine to Spain via France next week, as far as I’m aware, they have a flat beam pattern that doesn’t require adjusting but I could be wrong, sure someone with more knowledge than me will confirm this…
Surprised DSL hasn't been along on here yet ... AFAIK he never adjusted for driving on the wrong side of the road on all his European trips.
But his engine blew up. Maybe related..

You trying to send me back to therapy??
Re beams, don’t worry about it. Done many, many tens of thousands of miles on t’other side, never an issue, never been flashed.
