How to adjust headlight
Hi All,
I need to adjust my headlight beam .. the driver side aim (light) is shorter than the passenger side.
When I drive at night I can see the headlight range on my side is shorter than passenger side.

I looked for screw to adjust to raise the beam a bit but I don't see any screws or knob to adjust .. Please see the attached picture for my headlight and advice on how can I adjust my headlight beam. My car is 2008 C300. Thanks in advance ..




I don't see any screws inside the 2 holes to adjust. Plus I'm not sure how to remove the black plastic cover

That is normal. The drivers side light should always be a little lower then the passengers side light. This is so you do not blind on coming drivers.

Thanks for your reply... Since mine is not little lower, is it possible to adjust it? if yes, from where since I don't see any screws. Thanks

There should be a white plastic screw hole for you to adjust your beam right behind the lowbeam port.
