Headlight Question

Members,

are all SL55 come with Bi Xenon Headlight? and also are they self adjusted headlight? meaning are they supposed to go up and down to adjust the level every time you turn on your headlight? or do they need to be adjusted manually by screw driver?

The self leveling lamps use a sensor on both the front and rear axles, these are set on level ground to at the correct position, when the car goes over uneven ground, the sensors adjust the lamps to level them, the arms that operate the sensors can come off, and the lamps will fall to the default low position. the fault if they are not working can be read out on STAR
