You are correct. I led myself astray by assuming that the W203 dual sensors would be carried over to the W204. I jacked the car up today and after looking at both rear trailing arms could find nothing similar to my '01 C320's rear sensor.

I am going to drop by my dealer tomorrow and will question the service manager about it.

I can't see how just a sensor on the front suspension could detect a drop in the rear to depress the headlight reflector.

Well, maybe a radar altimeter-like device. Maybe not.

 

Hate to bump this old thread... but, I just did this myself, and thought it might help to mention:

The standard headlights on the C300 are adjusted for height by the white plastic screw/nut device found just behind the headlight assembly. The easiest way to adjust them is with a 6mm hex wrench. Turning counter-clockwise raises the beam... and, as you might guess, clockwise lowers the beam.

 

So, we know how to move the "beam" up or down. What I would like to know is how to move the entire assembly in or out. My driver's headlight sticks out farther than the passenger's.

 

If you look at your headlight there are screws that hold the housing to the front of the car. They are torx I beleive, but theres little play in them. You might have to expirement with moving one out and the other in to get them even, theres prob not enough play to make them even by doing just one unless its slight. I had a tough time on the last car when I removed the headlights and lining them up was a pain in the a**

 

I just took my C350 in this AM becaue my passenger side headlight was pointed so high and to the right that, at night when I passed Semi-trucks on the left,on the interstate, I blinded the driver via their side mirrors. I kept getting flashed by them to lower what they thought was my hi-beams. Alas, no high beams on.

i did notice when I first turn on the car the driver side headlight was adjusting, but the passenger side was static and never moved. I am guessing this is what is wrong with it. I will post and let you guys know if there was something wrong or if im wrong.

Peace

 

My passenger side has further distance than the driver side but also shines really bright at the bottom.. Almost like the fog lights are on? Any suggestions?? Halogens...

 

sorry to be that guy to bump a old thread...

im looking to find the screw to adjust left or right... anybody know where it is? I have a 2012 with the HID lamps.

 

My research shows there is no left-right adjustment.

 

thanks for the reply.

actually there is, i found it a few days ago. Ill post a picture tomorrow when the sun is up.

 

here you go.

 

That's what I thought. Mine doesn't have that screw. In fact, the metal headlight bracket is shaped different in that area.

 

Bump..

My car has the lighting package and the passenger side is much lower than the drivers. I was thinking of taking it to the dealer for correction, but if I can do it myself that would save time. This does not require SDS? Will I mess it up if I attempt to align it myself?

 

Is this same for the AMG/DEPO setup?

I JUST installed mine yesterday, and one beam is pointing down...

Please help guys...

 

I have an '09 C63 AMG (W204.077) with the xenon lights. There are two screws on the left headlight and one on the right. Counterclockwise on the inside screws (height adjustment) is up. Counterclockwise on the outside (close to the fender) screw is an outward adjustment.
I read above that clockwise is up, which may be true for some. But not for my car.
