Is there a way to adjust the projection height of them on a fl?
Didn't notice they are now a bit too high after lowering the car or didn't know lowering the car would affect them since I assumed they are suppose to adjust automatically while driving.
Only noticed driving on highway at night recently.

Yes, I adjusted my fl headlights yesterday as mine were dazzling other drivers at night.
Get a small flat head screwdriver and adjust it by turning the BLACK socket, not the white one.
Here's a picture. Circled in blue you'll find the adjustment screw. Sorry I'm on my phone and here's my best effort to point it out. Remember it's the BLACK screw/socket.

Do I just turn the light on and turn screw till it’s correct?
thanks a bunch if it works, I’m guessing it does so thanks anyway even if it doesn’t work for me

Adjust by screwing where I've circled in blue. The part where I've circled red (closest to the grille) will adjust from left to right.

Was there ever a cover on the one marked in red? Mine seems to have a cover that wont come off but I can adjust the one in blue which is what really matters. My headlamps no longer protrude from the fender like they do in your picture. The body shop aligned both lamps flush with the fender after replacing one side and told me they are perfectly aimed.... except they aren't. Now I just need to aim them as they are blinding oncoming traffic, more notably the newly replaced headlamp. Is there a certain spec these have to be aligned to? I wonder if one side should be higher or lower than the other. I'm guessing without an actual headlight aimer, we are just guessing on how much to adjust and its just trial and error.
Great video and thanks for sharing, but I think I want to leave this up for the dealer to do so that they are aimed perfectly or near perfect. Id hate to dazzle other drivers or not have my lamps light to their full potential. I also have ILS+ coded in and want that to be working at its best.

Just a thought -- since I've found this same "low aiming" issue on 3 AMGs, it may be that that's actually Mercedes' spec. I've not had oncoming vehicles "flash me" since adjusting so that's what I take as a good indicator that the video's aiming process is good.
Of course, if you have the intelligent LED headlights in a North American AMG that was delivered prior to the time when "matrix activated" headlights became legal, then it's absolutely worth the effort/cost to get them re-programmed so they operate in the proper "intelligent" mode (I had BenzNinja do our C43). As someone with ol' fart eyes, I can attest to how much better/safer night-time highway/unlit-road driving is with the intelligent/matrix lighting enabled.
