[W126 Coupe] headlight bulb replacement

[Steve Nervig]

Hi, Jay. If you drive on nothing but lighted streets, I would imagine  
that the level control would not be so useful.

But here in the States, there are mile and miles of rural roads and  
highways and the adjustment feature really improves your lighting  
options. Driving my coupe across the country is what it all about for  
me, so it comes in quite handy.

Regards,
Steve
