Not self levelling no as no switch inside car. My mechanics tried adjusting the screws but they just turn and do nothing

If you have no level adjust wheel inside the car then you do have self levelling. Look for a broken arm on one of the levellers under the car.

You have airmatic which also means you have self levelling headlamps.

Try to find a Merc specialist who knows about these things.

if its one side only it could be a link inside the light unit. A link between the actuator and the reflector may have fallen off. Std failure on Omega xenons. replace lamp unit or split apart and glue the bits back together. Never did on mine but on omega's a bloke in engineering shop made up metal links to swap out the designed to fail plastic originals
