SLK 350 DESIGNO 2007 SILVER/BLACK-MISTIC RED
ALIGNING HEADLAMPS

Dear fellows: Do you know how to align the slk 350, 2007 headlights? The owner´s manual says to visit the dealer. Isn´t possible do it on your own?

Best regards to everyone.

Yes you can adjust the headlights. There is an up/down and left/right adjustment under the hood just above the light units. The access to the adjustment screws requires the removal of some plastic covers on the headlight unit. I couldn’t get them off without breaking them off but it seems that all they do is cover the alignment screw. Give me a day and I will take a picture and find out the size of the allen head screw that does the adjustment.

Here is the picture of the holes that provide access to the adjusting screws. You need a 7 mm allen long enough to reach the screws. Hope this helps.
