[merc85]

Hi,

i have 2014 Mercedes w246 with xenon Headlights,

where is the front level sensors for the headlights?

I've taken both front wheels off expecting to find the sensors in the wheel arch like a 211 but i cannot see them anywhere?

According to Parts Information, this car does not have the front sensor for headlamp range control. Only the rear one.

Usually there is a sensor at the front too. Obviously the rear one is critical, the front would improve control a bit but not really needed to avoid blinding others.

EDIT: the option code matrix for the front sensor has -805 +618, meaning the front sensor is not installed on MY 805 cars even if it has Xenons.
