my lamps highlight the hedges better than what's ahead, crazy. I wonder if pulling the lamp back in the headlight will focus the beam forward better?

great one, I have a B200 sport and love it. enjoy the A class The most thing I'm dissapointed with is the dipped headlamps, its not the lamps but the beam focus is all wrong IMHO
