Our 2014 E350 cab has the LED intelligent lighting system. It works well except that the low beams cut out way to close to the car. In other words they need to be raised as they do not illuminate the road far enough ahead. Even the bright lights seem to fall a little short.

Can these be adjusted? Can the dealer do it?

unfortunately, i don't have my c207 anymore. I would have sent you a pic exactly where you can adjust the height of the headlights. Anyways, you can actually do it yourself. On top of the headlight assembly, you'll find a hole and a hex bolt adjustment screw. If you don't have the exact hex bolt, you can use a flat head screw driver wide enought to fit the slot. The adjustment screw is actually made of plastic so be careful not to damage it. You can start adjusting with half-turn increments.
Hope this helps.

Does this look like the hole to which you referred?



Here is another picture of it.

Yup, looks like it... turn the engine on, headlight on, face a wall and start adjustment. Try to do it at night time so you can test drive the car and see for yourself where the headlights aim. Make sure its not too high where it would blind oncoming vehicles.

Thanks! I made the adjustment and it works great. Haven't had anyone flash their lights at me so I don't think I got it too high.

You probably saved my billfold some stress by not having to go to the dealer!

Would this work for a 2013 e350 coupe with bi xenons?? I have the same issue, I never knew the angle of the lights can be adjusted

I couldn't say. You might raise the hood and see if you have these same adjusters. They were easy to turn and quite flimsy feeling. Turning them took little effort with an Allen (hex) wrench. Counter clockwise raised, clockwise lowered. They did not look like adjustment screws and I would not have discovered them without mo11's post.

mo11

Yes, they do. Same adjustment. On my older w204, it had bixenons and I adjusted those as well. Its a little different but same principle.

cool, you're welcome!

What about left or right adjustment?

Thanks.

I'll look for it.

Thanks!

I don't see anything that looks like what you're describing here.

Here's how mine looks like. It looks like there's a plastic covering what you're showing in your photos that's why I can't see what you're showing.

Thanks,
