adjusting bixenon headlights

I have this problem. My 2002 C32 headlight beam are too high, as though my high beams are on. Can I adjust them or do i need to go to the dealer? I took them to a gas station and they couldn't adjust them. When I turn the car on the bixenons do not go up or down initially. I don't know if there is or should be self-leveling and if this function is broken.
Thanks in advance,
Andy T

it may be more involved than the simple adjust, depending on the source of its
malfunction. simple adjust at the headlight, or at worst, the telemetry connect-
ions at the suspension became disconnected somehow. you'd have to crawl
below and check from suspension-to-headlight.....if the simple adjustment at
the headlight doesn't do the job.

The two times that I've had BiX aiming problems (one Merc and one Audi) it's been a ride height sensor issue. And both times the lights have been too low, not too high.
