Adjusting headlights horizontally on a halogen ml350
Hello.
As I was adjusting the headlights, I noticed the low beam on the driver side is pointing inwards to the center of the vehicle a bit; and the passenger side is pointing straight. I tried to adjust the left headlights, but it seems the adjusting screw doesn't work on both sides. No matter how much I turn them, the lights continue pointing in their original direction. Are the headlights on the ML350 not able to adjust horizontally or is the adjusting screws broken? The screws for adjusting the lights vertically works just fine. Thanks for comments.
ps: This ML350 has the normal halogen lights, not the bi-xenons

How far back is your car to the wall that you are pointing the beams to? This can make a huge difference in what may seemingly be a non-functional adjustment wheel.
My advice is actually to let your dealer do it (and they should do it for free) as they have the proper lightbox to aim the lights.

The driver side HL is aiming that way for a reason. That's for NOT blinding the oncoming opposite way. Be happy to be nice, want it or not.
