And the headlamp washers and automatic level adjustment to go with them.
Does having self-levelling suspension count?

MoT Tester's manual section 1.7 3rd para under Information
"Vehicles equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) or LED dipped beam headlamps may be fitted with headlamp washers and a suspension or headlamp self levelling system."
Not unless the lamps are joined up to the suspension or axles
Previous car LR D3 with Xenons fitted as standard. No adjustment at all on the lights as far as I could see and only attached to the bodywork. Car had self leveling air suspension.
The car would have had axle sensors, 1 front and 1 rear, it cannot have been any other way
Yes, all MB xenon lamps have electric levelling motors fitted on most models there is a sensor on each axle, in the case of a 215,220 or 230 they are wired into the suspension self levelling system.
We get may post where an arm drops off the sensors and when a coupling breaks inside the headlamp and the lamp just points to the ground.
I have no idea about a D3,,, all MB's have one or the other system that I have said.
If you retro fit Xenons to a MB you must have a levelling device for the lamps.
Normal lamps on any MB have the vacuum levelling control in the dash, when Xenons are fitted this is removed.
My car, an estate, has self leveling suspension, and self leveling lights. I do think that one or the other would suffice...but it has both.

How do you know the lights are self leveling?
My GL has air suspension and I was wondering if the lights are leveling or not.
From other replies in this thread I assume they are, but how do you tell?
