Question New owner....a few questions...

Hey guys,

I've been a long time fan of the AMG's. My buddy used to have a E63 and I loved driving it. And then my little sister picked up a C63 and that's a beast and a blast to drive as well. With the E55 prices dropping and such I decided to finally pull the trigger and get my own. It's a 03 black on black.

I've only had it a few days but I'm loving it. The power is phenomenal! And it drives like a well engineered machine.
QUESTION: The drivers side headlight seems a bit low. I searched and search and found the adjustment point via a phillips screwdriver. However turning it does nothing and it clicks, so I stop turning it because I don't want to break/damage anything.

The headlights are self leveling, but the drivers side is still low and putting out poor lighting because it's too low. Help?
Thanks,
- Zishan

You may have to hook the car up to STAR DAS and do a headlight level readjustment.
If you are in Houston I have a DAS system and u can check it for you

Hey Shardul,

Yes, I'm in Houston, SW area. I'd love some help! Do you also know how to lower the car using STAR? I was considering the washer method, but I don't understand the rear lowering? I'll be happy to pay you for your time.

Regards,

Have Shardul lower it via star and call it a day. Best method short of ELM.
