Are they the adaptive headlights?

Apparently there were quite a few cars released from the factory where the lights were incorrectly set up.

Give Colin @ MBS a buzz. He may well have the capability to calibrate your lamp.
Thanks for the suggestion, however I have to go back to the supplying dealer to get the maps updated (which they've kindly agreed to do gratis even though it is Garmin - due to previous confusion) so I'll get them to recalibrate the lights at the same time.

Alas not.

This was nothing at all to do with an extremely large* vehicle assembly technician sat in the car while calibration was going on.... honest guv. Apparently.

(*standard is for 75kg driver... this guy was like 120).

A torch reveals that the hex screw I initially noticed has L and R with arrows on it and the one LostKiwi pointed out has Up and Do with arrows on it. So long as I now have to go back to the garage I think I'll let the garage adjust it first, but at least I know what to do if they don't get it right (or do it with an obese technician!).
Thanks!
