Default MD Titanium headlight aiming

Hi all,

Had the car serviced a short time ago and asked for the low beam to be lifted slightly as it was only illuminating about 30m in front of the car. With oncoming traffic the lights were mostly on low beam and at highway speeds this made picking exits in good time tricky - hence the request.

However after adjustment the lights are like high beam illumination, so I'm looking for some advice.

1. Is aiming of adaptive LED headlights a mechanical or electronic adjustment?

2. If mechanical, then where are the adjustment "screws/threads" and what do they look like?

I can get the car far enough away from a vertical wall on a flat horizontal garage floor to get them where I would like them to be if it can be done mechanically. There isn't any in cabin adjustment like the MA had on the dashboard. I believe the lower spec models in the MD range still have that facility by means of a pop out control that does not exist on our car.

If its electrically adjusted then I guess it is back to the dealer.

And to save potential confusion, I'm not talking about the ability to switch from drive on left to drive on right lighting.

Thanks in anticipation

Regards and cheers,
