2011 ML350 Headlamp Adjustment for Europe

Hi guys,

I'm in the UK and will be driving through Europe at the end of the week. In my user book it says about adjusting the headlights to a symmetrical dipped beam - has anybody tried this or know how to do it?

I did speak to the local MB dealer - they will do it but I think there is a cost involved (cheeky!).

They are just standard headlights (as far as I can tell).

Thanks

Andy

I dropped the car in to the MB dealer - turns out it's a very simple process.

Remove the bulb cover on each headlight, with your finger slide the adjuster from right to left - or left to right (depending on where you live and are going).

Refit bulb cover.

To adjust back, just slide the lever the other way.
