If they don't move, then your dealer is snowing you to save MB some big warranty dollars.

"Auto" was the missing link for me. It worked and I am a happy man.

Thanks man!

Is there a way to manually adjust the lights? My drivers side light is a tad too low.

I do have Active Cornering Lights on my car.

Yes. The black plastic "nut" on the top of the headlight assembly in the middle area. It is a 13mm "nut". If I remember correctly, clockwise brings the aim up and counter-clockwise aims down.
