2009 c350 headlight adjustment

I was getting a haircut and I heard somebody yell. Oh look they just hit that black mercedes. Apparently she was parked next to me and pulled out to the right and never saw my vehicle. She took my front bumper along and scratched my left headlight. (xenon)
Headlight replacement cost was $ 1780,- Total fix was just under $5000.-
I got the car back from the bodyshop but the left headlight seems to be too low.
Could somebody please tell me how to adjust it?

Wow that looks nasty. I would've been one pissed off S.O.B.
Did you get the car fixed at an MB dealer? If so then take it back and they will adjust it for you.

Light works fine. Just a little low. I know the right light is suppose to be a little higher so you can read the roadsigns better.

Actually it's very simple, use a flat head screw and turn that yellowish white thing locate behind the headlight.

If my car had $5000 worth of work done to it and something is not right, you can bet your *** I'd be visiting the body shop that did the work, regardless of the distance. Call them ahead of time and agree on a time to come and get it checked out and fixed.

But maybe that's just me...
