Question Do Euro C-class MBs have headlight auto-levellers

When installing new VisionPlus bulbs the other day, I noticed that the headlight assemblies missed a few elements as compared to the manual diagrams. Namely, small round pieces looking like vacuum canisters between the dust covers.

I know that many cars in Europe have headlights either remotely adjustable by a dial on the dashboard, or with autolevellers.

I wonder if European W203s with halogens are outfitted with autolevellers? If yes, that might be a solution to folks thinking of retrofitting HIDs.

Only the Xenon vehicles have auto-head light adjusters. Non Xenon cars have a little rotary wheel to adjust [certainly on all recent UK vehicles, although I havent had a good look at the W203)

Manual headlight leveling has been standard with MB in Germany since the 80's. I'm guessing it is mandated there.
