Ligts adjustment, is it possible?
Hei, I have a problem with halogen, long beam, I am not sure, if that's a correct name but hope, you know what I mean
​​​​​​I have H7 bulb there. Problem is, that it's pointing in the sky, really high
Is it possible to adjust it?
My car is 2007 W211, sedan

Thank you! I will try that today evening I hope, if not, tomorrow. Hope it will help, driving at night, disaster!
There's one thing, that bothers me. In the video, he adjusts regular lights, but mine, are fine, only one, of this extra, for driving at night in empty roads, is pointing up. If I start adjusting, won't it make regular light lower than it should?

Awesome! I'm sure, I will use it in the future, I just bought that car but still, if I start turning that screw, won't I change main light? I need only high beam to be lowered...

I can change it, no problem, but bulb could do that?
Means, I understood it correct, adjusting screw, doesn't work with that type of light? Only with main, road ligts, other should be adjust as well, in the same time, when turning the screw?

That screw is to adjust main lights up and down, or right,left, each headlight has the screw to adjust, unless the mechanism on the headlight is damage

I don,t know if can be repair, and is only an assumption that is damage, by only checking closely can see if really not working.

I know, there was tiny crash, bumper was changed, but it can't be body problem, because main light is correct. It has to be sth inside, that's broken? Sorry, for weird questions, but I'm not an expert, at all, learning now
