How to adjust the Bi-Xenon lighting pattern
The new 2012 GLK came with Bi-Xenon lights - nice and bright - but the light pattern is WAY lower than the Halogen lights on the old 2010 GLK - the sharp cutoff angles of the Bi-Xenons on dark mountain highways makes it downright nerve racking sometimes. The 2010 Halogen lights were definitely better IMHO under the same conditions. Leads me to suspect that the 2012 Bi-X lights might be aimed a little low - OK side to side. Is there any DIY vertical adjustment? Thanks

Yup, but it's a spin of the dice. If the 3rd party wheel doctor are good and competent, you're peachy, if not, you're out of luck. Had a wheel repaired at an Infinity/Nissan dealership (for my GT-R). They ruined it. Dealer bought me a new one. So it all depends of the guy doing the repair.

The MB dealer in my area did all 4 of mine. two were damaged and since I wanted all 4 to match exactly I had them do all 4. The bill was $500.
Found out later that these are the people they use. Others on a different forum told me they charge on average $100 per wheel. They do curb rash and wheel straightening. See their web site.

They did great work.

So. How does one know if the low beams are aimed too low?
