Hi, hopefully not too dumb a question...
We've had our 2010 Cali for a while now and this year will be its first Euro trip. I've searched through both the owner and workshop manual but cannot find anything relating to headlight adjustment for driving in Europe. Our earlier Ferrari (360) had headlights that could be adjusted so am I right in assuming the more modern Cali has a 'flat' beam pattern, negating the need for adjustment?
I'd be surprised if Ferrari would've removed the adjustment option if it were still required on the car. Any info greatly appreciated, thanks

I never checked the Cali’s beams when we owned one but would suggest that you check it yourself. Our FF has flat beams but our F12 has hooked beams. However, there is no ability to adjust the F12’s beams and we didn’t seem to annoy anyone when we visited the UK in it (we’re on the continent). So even with hooked beams, I believe that modern headlamps are fit for both sides of the road.

I’ll probably be accused by @Joe5y of the worst “I’ve got two Ferraris” post ever wink.

Thanks, appreciated. I'll find a suitable wall to shine the lights at and see what I can figure out.
