Hi, I have a 07 FACELIFT w211, the high beam on 1 side is high. Can some one show me where is the adjustment screw for the high beam?? I found the screw for low beam and horizontal movement, but not for high beam!! I did a search here, some one posted a pictures of the light unit with 3 screws, but my car only has 2 screws (nothing at the location of the high beam adjuster screw!! Please help

Hard to put price on safety. Get it done.
If you have flat spot in front of garage door, or house wall, what I do is get car close to it, turn the high beams on, put cross of masking tape in center of the light beam on the wall/door, back up the car several ft making sure the wheels are straight and then you clearly see needed adjustment.

From the thread I found here, people had to use the tremel drill and cut off the gears bridge to get to the high beam adjustment crew... today with determination, I was able to remove this bridge without cutting anything. Will wait for the sun down to adjust the light
Talking a needing a flat spot and distant to adjust the light, I have a scary and hilarious situation yesterday trying to adjust the lower beam. My driveway is sloppy and short, so last night at around 6.30pm I drove to a local ACE hardware store's parking lot (empty by now). Seeing a stranger drove into their parking lot, moving back and forth multiple times at dusk; used a ruler to measure the wall, used masking tape to mask spots on the wall, then measured distant on the ground...etc.... I saw 3, 4 staffers from store stalking, staring at me from the distant, they pointed fingers, even pull out and communicated on their walkie talkie.... then with 3 staffers guarding the door, 1 of them approaching me carefully with the walkie talkie ready on hand. Once he got close enough he asked if I need any help and if everything was ok.... I explained to him that I was adjusting the headlight!!! and just need a flat surface and 25ft distance...... You could see the relief on his face.......hahah.....
