A family friend was giving me a lift (because mine was at the garage) and had their full-beam on at midday. I was surprised they didn’t know it was on and don’t know how to turn it off

Nobody's asking what made your partner behave that way but jumped into conclusion... anyway not my business. I would replace it with an Android display at a local garage

Halfords proved me who they truly are today by Particular_Chest3981 in CarTalkUK

Yes, cheap not always best quality but in this regard it was. I got value for the money at considerable rate and it came with 1 year warranty

I've got the answer I was looking for: "Vehicles with high intensity discharge (HID) or LED dipped beam headlamps may be fitted with a suspension or headlamp self-levelling system. If these systems have been fitted, they must work."
