Anyone have pic of their Led headlight cutoff? I think my passengerm might be too low
I had my passenger (rightside) light replaced due to DRL failure, and i think it might be a tad too low, keep in mind this is only a foot away from the garage wall... Anyone got any pics of how theirs look? The adjustment seems easy enough, apparently there are two screws to adjust height/horizontal level. Thanks!
Take it back to the dealer who replaced it if you are not happy with the alignment of the light. Looking at the picture you posted, it appears to be fine, in my opinion.
If you're on air suspension, the headlights are auto-leveling. If you're on coils, they aren't. That looks right to me, but I'll have to double check when i pull in my garage tonight.

interesting, yeah it is on air suspension i thought you still had to manually do something to set a baseline or something

I’m confused about the self leveling feature. I don’t have air suspension, mine is on coils, yet when I start my Defender, which is parked on my slightly sloped driveway, the headlight beam shifts up and down before settling into a fixed position. Auto-leveling or not? It is quite apparent as I can clearly see the illumination on the property across from me. This happens during every start. I might add that I leave my headlights on AUTO at all times, so I see it at every start when dark.
Update: Just found my own answer doing a little digging.
HEADLIGHT LEVELLING [G2464153]
NOTE:Automatic headlight levelling is only available on vehicles fitted with Premium LED headlights or electronic air suspension.
Automatic headlight leveling compensates the vertical aiming of the headlights to minimize the glare to other road users when the vehicle's attitude changes due to vehicle loading.
So, Auto-leveling is not limited to air suspension only, but is enabled with Premium LED headlights.

Interesting! I retrofitted mine (on coils) with premium LEDs and they don’t auto-level. There must be another CCF setting that needs to be changed to enable that.

ok so i think something is definitely wrong, at night i see two cut off lines as if they are not aligned, and passenger side one is always lower, sigh...so frustrating because this was a headlight replacement done by JLR dealer here, seems they can never get anything done right the first time. I'm going to see if I can adjust the cut off manually otherwise it's going to be more time at the dealer
update: i was able to adjust the height pretty easily with the ***** on the headlight found here, also I have air suspension but manual adjustment was needed
