Thread: Xenon headlight levelling

  1. #1

    Xenon headlight levelling

    My C43 has the Xenon lights. I noticed when I first turn the lights on, only one side goes down and comes back up. Aren't both sides supposed to do that (auto level)?

    I didn't know the Xenon headlamps had an auto level feature. Another member posted a video of his starting up, maybe you can compare?

    Heres a vid of me powering up the lights before i tried to re-aim it (which I am totally lost on). Would the instructions in the owners manual be the same for xenons? I just kind of eye balled it.

    The factory/OEM Xenons do.
    But if turned on while the car is on an incline, they don't move.

    I've posted a short QuickTime video (4 MB size) of the OEM Xenons doing their auto-leveling exercise.
