Headlights pointed to the ground
I just noticed my headlights were pointed to the ground and upon start up the auto leveling isn't operating correctly for both headlights.
The good thing is that both headlights are pointed equally to the ground, and they do auto level slightly but not the full range. My friend pulled up in a c63 last night and that is when I noticed his headlights have the full up and down motion whereas mine moves about 20% and points down to the ground.
Anyone come across this situation yet? Any thoughts?

I brought my car to the shop and they found out that one of the rod and mounting bracket were bent/jammed. Not sure how that happened but the shop was able to unbend the metal rod and straighten out the bracket that were all connected to the leveling sensors. luckily the shop also does metal fabrication so they had the tools to do the job correctly.
They had to do some minor manual tweaking to the leveling but now it works normally again. Headlights move up and down in full motion when starting car. Cut off is good. I think my drivers headlights is a hair too high, so i'll adjust it manually this weekend.
