[W126 Coupe] headlight bulb replacement

[Jay Manek]

Its interesting that you guys find the level control so useful... I have it 
here in the UK on my W123 and SEC and cant say ive ever adjusted the 
switch... The roads are so well lit that its never really needed..

Infact many cars i come across, the level control is usually seized due to 
never being used!

Many Thanks & Regards
