2008 E 350 4matic wagon - Adaptive Headlight Do Not Auto Level
MB readers, I have a 2008 E 350 4 Matic Wagon with Adaptive Headlights. The Passenger ( Right ) light, Auto Leveling, Turning at under 25 MPH works perfect. The Driver ( left ) does not do any of the Auto, turning actions. The Light is active and works. I have used the Adjust Screw to bring this to the same level as the working ( Right ) headlight. I assumed the Headlight Unit was faulty and purchased a new one. Dropped the bumper, replaced the Headlight assembly, same problem :-(....
Any suggestions on where to look next... Is there a separate control unit that manages the Auto Leveling function of the Adaptive Headlights ?... Any advice would be appreciated... Al

Control unit "may" need to be reset using MB DAS.

Quick Follow up question(s).... is there 1 Control Unit for both Headlights or 2 separate Control Units & are the control unit under one of the seats or in the engine compartment ?

Each lighting unit has a control unit (CU) for range & curve adjustment, interior CU (N71) is leveling including startup adjustment. You can try pulling f52 @ front SAM (engine compartment) in an attempt to reset.
