Need help with '03 c32 headlight alignment!
What's up everybody? I just got my c32 around a month ago and came across this site trying to look for help, and I love it already....anyways, I just replaced the stock bulbs with some PIAA 7500K bulbs, and afterwards I could tell that the left low beam (looking towards the car) is angled a lot lower than the right side low beam. It seems to be reflecting off the bottom of the headlight housing, and I don't know how to raise the angle. I checked the manual and searched the site a bit, but was unable to find anything. Can anybody give me any help with this?!?

Ok, I have seen that before and starting turning it but it seemed not to do anything. I was assuming that turning it clockwise would raise the beam, but nothing seemed to be happening. Any tips on which way to turn the screw? Thanks for your help...

I have the same issue. Knew that had to be the adjustment but had no clue which way to turn other than guessing the way you did.
I had issues with my beams being way too low and the mechanic adjusted them up but I wasn't there to watch him. I then had my wandering mirrors and unmoveable seat issues fixed by replacing a memory module and suddenly my headlights are lighting up the sky. I need to tilt them down, but for the life of me I couldn't find anything in the manual discussing this (I think they assume with auto leveling you will never need to).

but, i suspect that you have over extended the screw and it has come out...
can you pull up and down on the back of the projector assembly and move it by hand?
