08 Gl450 - headlight adjustment right to left
Wife had a small accident with the 08 GL450 that required a new passenger headlight. While the body shop did a good job with the repair (install and bumber repair) I am not happy with the angle of the headlght. The passenger headlight is now shining way off to the right. I know there is a screw for the height adjustment but does anyone know of a side-to-side adjustment? I need to angle the passenger light toward the front of the car.
Called my service manager who said the height and angle are controlled by the computer. I don't believe that 100%.
Thoughts?
TIA

It's all covered by WIS document AP82.10-P-8260GS, "Check and correct headlamp adjustment."
Take your car to a Mercedes dealer, as adjustment is all accomplished via connection of STAR DIAGNOSTIC system.
