Aiming headlight - which knob to adjust vertical?
I have a 2002 W203 with the OEM xenon (non-bixenon). My headlights seem to be aiming a little too low and need adjusting. Both beams are level and aiming straight, so I just need to bring both beams up a little. Which knob on the headlight is used to adjust vertical to make them point higher?



Is it the circled adjustment knob in the picture? Also, which direction would I be turning to point the headlights up, clockwise or counter-clockwise?

What do the other knobs/adjustment screws and bolts do?

Thanks.

yes that is the right knob to turn...park the car in front of a wall at night and you will see soon enough in what direction to turn it to.

greetingz,

Adjusted it the other night, noticed that there's arrows indicating which direction to turn to bring it UP and DOWN.

Thanks!
