High beam

Hi,
Just looking for some insight, driving home late last night, dual carriageway, alternating between 60 - 100 km/h.
For large parts of the trip high beam (or is it dipped beam) - the blue light, was used. When oncoming traffic was seen, they were turned off.
However, a good number of cars flashed their headlights at me, wasn't sure if they assumed i had high beams on still or if it was a 'police up ahead' - which there weren't.

As far as i'm aware i don't have auto high beam on the car.
Are the RRS regular head lamps just normally brighter than standard?

If you had definitely dipped the beams (blue light off) then I would assume the headlights are set a bit high. They can be adjusted easily enough. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Thinking back to the heady days of the early L494, I seem to remember people posting that they were being flashed a lot by oncoming cars. So maybe it's a "feature" or maybe LR just set them slightly high when fitting them. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
