Exclamation Quick help needed re: headlights & battery

Need 2 quick questions answered that I can't find info on in the owner's manual or the internet.

1) How do we adjust out headlights up and down? I thought they were self leveling but I swear my right headlight is a little lower than the left.

2) How do I disconnect my battery to replace it? Where is it located? Surely it can't be that little battery in the trunk next to the space - must be a bigger one elsewhere, right?

The battery is under the hood to the left of the engine.
The lights are self leveling. Do you have a fat lady sitting in the passenger seat?

Fat people rule.


Even with the self leveling there should be a manual adjustment. I had it on my other AMG's because when I lowered the car, the center point of the leveling system when down and thus the leveling did too. A few turns of the Phillips head and the assembly went up. Normally its right behind the headlights in the engine bay and its either a torx bolt or a phillips. Be careful not to change the left and right adjustments though.

If anyone knows where exactly the height adjustment screws for the headlights are, it would help me a lot!
