I've only had my sprinter 316 a couple of weeks and the motorised headlight adjuster doesn't seem to do anything. The light are pointing very high and i get flashed a lot.
Is it major sergery to take the headlamp apart and check the motor out? or maybe its something a little more subtle
thanks for your help

sprinter lights need adjustment

i'll have some time on my hands over christmas to have a look at my skyward dip beam but as both light point up surly it can't be both motors are faulty (hight adjustable), it must be the control side i guess. Without a wiring diagram it's gonna be a rough ride!
any thoughts anyone?

If both lights do it, then it is the control unit.

I do not know if I have any info on this, but I will look and see

Is it possible to fit the headlamp unit unside down?

Otherwise I am surprised that there is enough adjustment in the unit to enable them to aim that high. :confused:

That a no to fitting them upside down . I suspect The brackets wonlt allow it and the beam pattern will be all wrong. Emlclcy, have a look at teh bulbs and make sure they're not non standard one?
