    I'm looking to drive my FF from a RHD country (UK) into a LHD continent (Europe). Does anyone know if the headlights need adjusting? I know that previous cars have a switch behind the headlight cluster to switch from a left to right facing bias (to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic). Or does the FF have flat beams which don't require adjustment?

    Can't find much info on this anywhere. Will also ask my local dealership.

    that's a great question, unfortunately I do not know.

    We have a US-spec car with the AFS lights (which are auto-leveling), but unsure if or how you can re-aim them. I'm going to presume your dealer will have the answer - I might check the manual but am going to speculate this is not covered....

    please let us know what you find

    Dealer tells me it's either a switch behind the headlamps (not easy to reach on the FF) or a setting that can only be changed by plugging in a diagnostics computer. He's yet to confirm which one.

    OK, received the final answer from my dealership. They said that there's no switch or software setting and only a headlamp replacement will do the trick!

    Guess I'll be sticking tape on the front of the lights then.

    Toured around Europe last year in my RHD FF didn't have any problems using dipped beam without tape or any mods.

    It is pathetic that at this level Ferrari seem not to realise people will actually drive across Europe.
    I looked at buying a LHD car to register in the UK but the problem is with the Headlights not being dual use.
    Maybe we should all by Merc's in the Uk???
