Can someone help me out on adjusting my headlights on a C32?

My headlights aim really low when i drive. I have to drive really slow because they only allow me to see about 8-10 feet in front of me. But most of the times, ill have to use my high beams. only when no one is coming from the other side of course. I hear the C32 headlights adjust by themselves when you turn the car on? not sure if mine does or doesnt, its a 2002 c32. cant seem to find the allen key bolt on the top of the headlight. I also tried the search feature on the forum and couldnt find anything to help me with this. Any help would be appreciate.

you have xenons, right? most likely the auto leveling sensors are out of calibration or need to be replaced. do a search on auto leveling to find instructions on how to reset them

ive searched "reset auto leveling" and "auto leveling" and couldnt find anything. I know that i have the bixenons, they are like HID's. when i turn the car on, it doesnt move up and down to adjust itself, just to let you knnow. Is something broken?

yes they did i have it on my car
i had regular xenon before and upgraded to the bi xenon

unless your car had regular lights before and someone upgraded it to bixenons then you wont have the leveling sensor

I think they had the reglar lights and someone replaced it with the bixenons. i found the 2 adjustment screws on the top of the headlight. left/right screw was under a grey plastic cover. up/down screw was next to it but slightly lower. Now i shall wait til tonight to adjust.

what i'm trying to explain to you is that if your auto leveling system is out of wack, you won't be able to bring the headlights up high enough no matter how much you try to adjust them via those headlight screws.

take a look under your car to see if it has auto leveling sensors.
