2004 c200 headlight adjustment, does not have electric adjust

Quick question, i have factory xenon lights in my c200 2004 model, the low beams seemed to be aimed down directly infront of the car, the highbeams however are aimed perfectly
it does NOT have that little scroll wheel next to where you turn the lights on to adjust them like it says in the manual and on other pages
If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great
thanks, and i did do some searching on here before i posted but couldnt find anything

The quickest way is to manually raise the beam, see here: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...ent-screw.html

here the xenon lights have auto level, its possible yours has a malfunction. there will be a fault in the HRA module if so. how many wiring connectors does your right headlamp have? If there are three, you have auto leveling.

Auto leveling feature simply adjusts the beam based on sway bar mounted sensors to compensate for vehicle load. If the beams are skewed to begin with, auto leveling will not correct it. There are screws for up/down and left/right adjustment. Once the beams are aligned, the auto leveling feature keeps them aligned depending on vehicle load.

yeah it has 3 sensors, i assumed it had auto levelling and it would adjust it for me, there pointing straight ahead but just aimed right infront of the car, i will adjust it using the screw and hopefully it will lift it up
thanks
