Yes, I believe you can. I also find them too low so will be asking my local shop to do this in 3 weeks when I get my new wheels. I doubt a Merc dealer will do it -- just an assumption - safety?.

called my local MB dealership.. talked to service rep and they said they could do it! But cost $170!!!! WTF?! lol
They said they need a machine to raise the lights?
Then i called a local MB repair shop that has pretty good reviews on yelp. They said they would do it for free...
Hmmmm what do to?!

well went to the indy shop and they showed me how to do it. its just like any other car just twist this thing on top of the lights through this hole. allen wrench needed.
so raised them up and they are perfect!
BUT i was wondering about SELF LEVELING on our cars. when i start my car up they do the little dance left right and up and down. but if my car is pointed down on a hill should the lights point up a little? or if going up a bump then should point down a little?
there is absolutely no moment as of levining up and down.
