Installed Bi-Xenons, Height adjustment does'nt work

After i installed the Bi-Xenons (OEM), they started flickering-a quick trip to the dealers for some STAR magic and all was well. However, now I find I can't make any changes to the height adjustment, ie. the little wheel that sits next to the headlamp/fog lamp on-off switch in the headlamp selector panel.
Why would this have happened?

that is a european only feature... or rather a NON-USA feature. Maybe MBenzNL would know.

What do you mean, auto levelling Bi-Xenons must be a US option equally as for Europe?

The point with this setup is that you did not seem to install the automatic level control parts, Bi-Xenons are not supposed to use the manual level control. It takes quite a bit of work to have the level sensors and wiring installed (or did you have Airmatic where the sensors already exist).
