    Glk350 is what you need, its a just a lifted w204,they literally share the chassis and about 90% of parts with more interior space and clearance.You could keep most of your mods from the c300 and just put them back in the glk.

    I use Hose Grip pliers, they are almost a perfect fit to get around the little bulb housing and it does not break anything :) Of course you still need to be careful and not crush it and use the same pressure you would if you were using your fingers, Just put some electrical tape on the ends for added grip.

    Hi, like to check with you.. at the back of each 2009 W204 headlights, there are TWO WHITE screws. One of the Screw, which you explained is to adjust the heights of the projector lens. What is the other WHITE Screw for? Is it to adjust the DEPTHS (Forward or Backwards) of the Projector lens? My right lights is currently very dispersed, there isn’t one solid concentration. The lights is spread until like there isn’t any. Hope to get an answer from you. Thanks.

    If you're still monitoring this site, I made the clockwise adjustments as you suggested but nothing happened. I'm wondering what the actual mechanism that I'm rotating looks like in a breakdown? I'm also wondering if something is stripped that won't lower the lights? Both headlights are in the same condition, simply too high and won't lower.

Q3 is very efficient and plenty of room. My c300 is 2011 paddle shifters with a injen pedal commander it's a nice awd but it's my first automatic transmission vehicle and it is quite bland. I'll never buy a v6 vehicle again.

    Also the headlamp levelling device inoperative Nearside Rear.
    Any ideas what they mean by this last bit?
    The garage said once he has got the new headlamp levelling device fitted, it will then automatically adjust the level of his headlamps??
    Is this correct? What is the levelling device they are talking about please - I have tried to see where I can get one, but it comes up that the part can't be recognised.
    Thank you so much if you can help with this.

If you want to be the brightest car on the road get the 55w system you won't be disappointed lol. Don't worry about the high beams, it's not worth the money to change them out since you rarely use them! I can't wait to see your mods on Instagram.

    Question for you! I have this lighting system on my 2015 GLK. Drivers side low beam headlamp was pointing low towards the ground. I removed the circle black cover as to gain access to the light. The bottom of the light is secured but the top is not and I am able to move the lamp around by hand. Easy fix or does the entire assembly need replacement?

    • @RaymondUrias

      Make sure the headlight housing is properly secured with all bolts on tight. Then check and make sure the bulb is seated correctly, it should not move. A 2015 should still be under warranty
