C 300 Headlights Problem
Hello,
I am new on this forum. I bought a 2008 C 300 sports 4matic earlier this year. I have had no problems with it thus far. Recently, i have started noticing a lot of cars flashing at me as if my high beem is on. I am sure it isnt on because when i turn on the high beam, the light increases. I have stopped at gas station to check if maybe my light is really bright but i doubt it. Has anyone else had this problem? Are the lights on the Merc maybe too bright?
I am scared of getting pulled over for this as a lot of cars have been high beaming me whenever i have passed them...
Any ideas?

If you are concerned you should have the lights adjusted for height at a good workshop. This is a safety issue.
On low beam the RH light should be directed to the edge of the road & the LH should be low & close to straight ahead.
On high beam you should not be able to shoot posssums in the trees.
Good luck.

Drive your car into a darker level area & park in front of a wall. Use your lights on high & low beam & you should see if there are any problems.
