I find the headlights terrific. But a lot of people get thrown by the fact that the left and right lights don't have the same alignment (higher on the footpath side that than centre of the road). That's the way they are designed so you don't dazzle oncoming traffic, but get maximum visibility.

Morette and Hella make some replacement headlights (twin effect rather than single lens) but they cost a bit. Here's an example

Does the car have 'in-car' lamp adjustment from the drives seat?

Good thinking! If it is an LR then yes it does. Small wheel on right hand side, just next to headlight switch. Kizzer?
