LED headlight adjustment

[LostKiwi]

Are they the adaptive headlights?

Apparently there were quite a few cars released from the factory where the lights were incorrectly set up.

Give Colin @ MBS a buzz. He may well have the capability to calibrate your lamp.

Thanks for the suggestion, however I have to go back to the supplying dealer to get the maps updated (which they've kindly agreed to do gratis even though it is Garmin - due to previous confusion) so I'll get them to recalibrate the lights at the same time.

Alas not.

This was nothing at all to do with an extremely large* vehicle assembly technician sat in the car while calibration was going on.... honest guv. Apparently.

(*standard is for 75kg driver... this guy was like 120).

Alas not.

Okay looking on MBWorld it appears they are indeed adjustable.

I noticed that but according to

that appears to be the side adjustment. It may be that side adjusting it does slightly change the height too as the line isn't exactly horizontal, but that's no good if it adjusts the side.

Thats not the same screw. The one linked to in my post is lower down by the connectors.

A torch reveals that the hex screw I initially noticed has L and R with arrows on it and the one LostKiwi pointed out has Up and Do with arrows on it. So long as I now have to go back to the garage I think I'll let the garage adjust it first, but at least I know what to do if they don't get it right (or do it with an obese technician!).
Thanks!
