2014 ILS led level calibration?/adjustment

Hi guys, picked up a 2014 E550, I had one last summer and sold it and regretted it so bought another... comparing from my memory of that one to this one. This car the 2 headlights are not lining up to each other on the road with their cut off lines and they are too low. all functions work fine otherwise and highbeam is fantastic.

Is there a way to manually adjust these to line up or would it be somehow a calibration?/configuration change to get them back how they should be?

There are two adjustment screws on each headlight, one for vertical and one for horizontal adjustment.

I followed this video here:


You need a fairly long 6mm hex key to adjust it since the screws are quite deep in the headlight housing.

Thanks, these headlights don't appear to have that style of adjuster. they have a bolt but it also looks like a inner nut that the bolt runs through, I assume by turning the inner nut it adjusts the light that way 🤷
