Xenon Question/Issue

Hey All,

Just got my car back from service, there was an issue with the front right Xenon (it was flickering)... Apparently, they replaced some electronics, reset some codes and that's that.
I just drove my car for the first time last night and noticed that both of the lights seem to be facing DOWNWARDS!?!?!
I distinctly remember that my visibility, before my car was at BH Mercedes, was at least 30-40% better than now. It seems that both lights are bi-leveling or whatever down towards the street?

Also, when you turn them on THEY DO NOT go up and level like a few inches as before... Strange! and pathetic for a brand new $95k car!

Anyone have an issue like this? Simple mercedes fix or...?

Thanks guys!

they probably disconnect auto-leveling on sway bars. Bring the car back and let them fix it. Be careful, they may just aim the light. Tell them that your auto-leveling stop working.

This happened to my car when a dealer did aligment. I'm very disappointed at poor service from MB dealers.
