Help!! SLK Headlights

[jezzyper]

I've seen loads of posts on this subject but nothing about an R171 SLK200.

I am going to France and need to find out where or how to adjust the headlights to dip the beam the right way.

Thanks for your help.

Hi & Welcome,

Firstly do you have xenons or halogens?

Should be a switch in the back of the lights then

Have checked behind lights again, and located black plastic wheel with teeth around the outside which it appears can be rotated - could this be the way to adjust the dip? All other posts suggest that it would be a yellow lever?

this has nothing to do with lights but to do with you going on a long drive....
my SLK 350 from Nov 04, recently I asked my Merc dealer if they could fit a connection to the AUX input on the car audio system so I could use my iPod, but was told that it wound be much too expensive, fast forward 3 month... changing cd in the changer noticed a small hole on the left side of the glove compartment, pushed a 3,5mm jack plug into it and the other end to my iPod h/ph outlet, pressed the Aux btn. and bingo Ipod through the audio system, quality a good as cd.....is this a well know fact, am I the last to find out?

This is mentioned in the hand books but not many people read them.

After a long search (1 hour) I have found the paper, the 171 is not on the list

the 203, 209, 230, 211, 215, 220. are shown

from what i can work out coded lamps 614 and 615 are adjustable.

Sorry cant be of more help.
