Fix your headlights!!!

Happy new years guys!

So today was the final straw, I finally raised my headlights up 2 full turns of the knob. all I can say is what a F***ing difference. I recommend everyone goes out and does this right now. Yes its -20 degrees celsius outside, I just couldn't deal with this anymore and it only took me a total of 1 minute to get this done. I can't believe I put it off for so long. I figured I'd get this out there if anyone else is struggling to see during night driving.

...unless of course you have the dynamic lighting package. In which case...DO NOT TOUCH THEM (since they adjust automatically).

I think i have the dynamic lighting package it was still to low, I went for a long ride there much better now. before they would just aim very low. now they seem to be moving but sticking to the new hight i raised them too. I should of took a before and after video, I'm telling you this make me love my little w204 a little bit more.

isn't dynamic lighting package code 615 on the build sheet?

I should of worded that better. its the white adjustment thing on the top of the headlight, all you need is a screwdriver. I said knob because I have a steel knob with the phillips head on it specifically for doing headlights.

heres a video i only move it up, i left the left right adjustment alone.

Not sure what code it is...but if you have it, your headlights will move up/down left/right everytime they turn on to align itself (at least mine does).
