I understand that some FL's havea lever that adjusts the headlight beams for driving on the continent.
If this is correct, where exacltly is this lever and was it only for certain models?

Can't imagine there is such a thing on an F1 - would be surprised on an F2 was well.

I could easily be proved wrong though!

Maybe my senile memory is failing me.

There is a headlight levelling control on LHS of steering column. Are you thinking of that? This is to compensate for heavy loads but does dip the headlight down in level a bit.

There is an “other side of the road flap” on some newer LR.
What year, but a FL1, I would not think so.

No, for some reason I was under the impression that I had read somewhere that some models at least had a lever to make the adjustment. Probably old age on my part sadly.

Only the FL2 with projector headlights, either Xenon or Halogen, IIRC.

Yes some do
Our 2011 L322 (no idea if the FL had it and when) has a little lever behind the plastic cover that we flip when driving in the uk. Makes the dip beam “flat”
So you are not losing it don’t worry we all have those moments
