How many of you guys with P2 (xenons) packages feel that MB or ECE coded, headlights are aim too low stock from the factory and feels the need to adjust them higher for more visibility down the road.

When my car was delivered in Oct 2007, I felt that the right headlight low beam needed to be raised a bit, so I raised it. There is an external adjustment. This has no effect on the self-leveling function.

That good, i though it was just me. I have two other cars with HID, and the MB are just aim very low comparing with the other two. Almost low enough where it is dangerous on highway speed because it almost seem like it was only shining like 20ft in front of the car.
