W210 Aim Headlights

Just bought a 2003 E320 wagon with factory Xeon headlights. Wow .... nice .... still getting used to them glowing-up when first turned on. Really like the illumination.

But they are aimed too low. How are these adjusted? Are there obvious adjuster screws?

Haasman, do your lights incorpoate any self-leveling?

I've got OE halogens added to my diesel. I've had to aim them up on several occasions. Dealership had them pointing at the ground 25' ahead of the car.

The owner's manual addresses aiming the headlamps in the 210.

Since I do not know much about these lights, their "self-leveling" feature etc I had them adjusted at a shop. The good news is that they are aimed higher, but still just a bit low.

I was told they are at their max even though the cut-off is still low. Yes, I have had numerous different lighting systems over the years and understand where the cut-off should be.

Any further elavating suggestions?

Thanks as always in advance,

Haasman
