I'm sure if I can be bothered reading the manual I'll find some info.
But does anyone know if you have to use stick on beam benders or is there a nifty little setting to set the headlights up for driving in Europe?
Cheers

I have to confess to being a bit of a rebel, but I have just returned from a 2,300 mile trip to the South of France and back. My bi-xenons were not 'bent' or adapted in any way and I was not flashed by Angry Pierre once in 10 days. They appear to aim straight forward and not dipped to one side. However, I may be wrong of course

My 500X (2015 model) has Bi Xenons and they have UK N/S beam "kick-up". (accoding to my garage door).

I don't recall reading anything in the handbook about UK/EU/LHD/RHD beam adjustment.

Best way to check beam pattern is to hold some translucent/frosted grease proof paper over the headlamps. Beam profile is then readily seen and it is then dead easy to work out how to mask the offending kick-up.
