W222 S560 4M
Lightbulb **SOLVED** ISSUE W222 MOPF / S560 4M ILS+ MISALIGNED

MY DREAM of enabling ILS+ (Mercedes Benz Intelligent Matrix Light in the S-Class) in the United States came through - smart guys from https://benzninja.com/ did a remote reprogramming on my car to enable the functionality that I had hardware for.
BUT it was not blowing me away because I had some dark spots. The guys have reprogrammed everything multiple times (WITHOUT CHARGING EXTRA) and did a troubleshoot - and came to the conclusion the SW is not the issue.


No matter what software adjustments were done, the lights were seemingly misaligned. The right headlight was darkening out the side, and possibly blinding oncoming traffic.


ILS Misalignment Demonstrating by darkening random or shifted space

I saw that there was a way to align a headlight with an allen key upwards and downwards by utilizing a screw visible under the hood.
It turns out there is an easy adjustment to pivot the Mercedes Intelligent Headlights on the S-Class!!!



MOFP Position of adjustment screws for horizontal as well as vertical pivot


This is the outcome, a crisp outline of the intelligent matrix lighting:


ILS+ Working as designed!

Hope this helps you guys

Great job! How did you determine how far to turn the adjustments?
