Headlight Leveling

I noticed that my headlamps (bi xenon) are aimed too low. Where are the leveling screws located? tks

Bi-Xenon headlights are auto-leveling on the W211 to my knowledge, unless it was cut for the 2009 model.

I have the 2009 E350 and they are auto-leveling. Sounds like Kosmo has a problem with his.

Yeah that's what I expected, it is mandated by law both in the US (I believe) and where the cars are actually made in Austria/Germany (for sure) that they must be auto leveling as not to blind oncoming traffic. But I would get them checked out by a dealer to make sure you are set on that, kosmo, expect to pay an arm and a leg as always but it's worth it.

You can manually level them with a 10mm socket wrench.

yup, the ECU needs to be reprogrammed. 1hr of Labor. So much for plug n play.

tks
