Xeon Headlight Adjustment Instructions?
Is there, or has anyone seen a MB guide on adjusting the position of the Xeon headlights?
Mainly looking for the specs on where the projection line should be, and the amount of distance between the bulbs. Basically a document a service tech would use to adjust the lights during service.
It would be a similar process to what's seen in this video I'd imagine:
Thanks.

I don't have the tech article you search for, but I know Audi uses this for aiming their Xenon headlamps and it should work perfectly for you as well:

Now, I don't understand why you are trying to reaim the headlamps, if you have OEM Xenon headlamps, they are auto leveling and in order to aim them properly you would need STAR Diagnostics.

My car came with halogens and I switched to aftermarket HID's. I can clearly see the horizontal and vertical cutoff shapes and I just wanted to make sure they were correct.
Based on them originally being halogens, I'm assuming the adjustment is manual.
