2014 E350 Wagon with dynamic LED headlights - so dim!
Hi all
We just got our first Mercedes, 2014 4matic wagon. It's fully loaded except the blind spot detection as far as I can tell.
We absolutely love the car - in fact we've been driving it any chance we got until it was night time driving that we noticed an issue.
We have the dynamic LED headlights but it's so dim. It only illuminates maybe 20 feet of the road ahead of us - we thought only fog lamps were on.
We know the lights are on - we notice lights against buildings, but not on the road. Does this sound right??

You should just take it back to the dealer and make them adjust the lights properly. I personally would not mess with something as critical as that.

Mine are definitely not dim.
I've been under the impression that the system does an automatic height adjustment at start-up. I can see the light pattern raise up from the drivers seat when I start up the car in a dark garage. I would definitely take it in and have it properly diagnosed.
It would be nice to see more technical information about how the dynamic lights work.
