GLK adjusting height of xenon auto steering headligts

Folks, I have a 2013 GLK250 with the xenon steering headlamps. Before we bought the car, it was in a minor front fender bender. No problem, except that the right headlight is too high. I need to adjust it. Both move fine, but the right one's "home" position needs to be adjusted. Does anyone have instructions / pictures? I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Just throwing this out there, but I think you have to use a scan tool to reset their position. its how you reset airmatic system.

If it is like my previous CLK or E500 then you just adjust the headlight like normal on level ground, you are basically setting the starting point for the auto adjustment and it will reset back to where you set it after it does it's job. Basically nothing special.

Hmmm. Interesting. I have an ODB reader but nothing that I can set anything with. Suggestions on one that will work?

Is this something that an owner can do? I haven't checked the owner's manual but will take a look.

Thanks.

Found the screw (torx) and moved it. Will need to wait until this evening to project onto the garage door and see if it's fixed. But thank you!!
