Question Battery change caused self levelling bi xenon to go too low

Hi guys,
I just got my C55 Battery replaced by MB dealer and now the self levelling bi xenon are way too low to see anything on the road... I did not notice it when I picked up my car since it was still day light.
Can I re-adjust it myself, is this an option?
Please Help.
cheers,
-MJ

my theory is that it might just need to be reprogrammed. Kinda like when you take out the battery, the sunroof and other accessories need to be reprogrammed.

i would not try to use the adjustment screws to bring the lights back up. for my audi, i had to go into a special diagnostics mode before trying to use the adjustment screws - otherwise the car would just use the adjustment motors to reverse any adjustment i made using the adjustment screws. i'm pretty sure that MB is the same way - i think you're gonna have to do it through STAR

The levl mech is actually a circuit sensor tied to the front sways-dont use the screws in the housing to adj those-Tem is right on-the dealer (why they didnt know this is sad....) needs to reset a couple functions-I ran into a similar event when I swapped my front and rear sways out......
