Detailed Description

This Vemo headlight level sensor is used in Mercedes-Benz xenon headlamp systems to monitor vehicle ride height and help maintain correct beam aim. When the suspension changes load or position, the sensor sends leveling input so the headlamps stay properly adjusted for road visibility and oncoming traffic. The V30-72-0173 is a direct OE-reference replacement for applications using Mercedes-Benz part number 010 542 77 17.

Compatible With Mercedes-Benz CL550, CL600, CL63 AMG, CL65 AMG, R350, S350, S400, S550, S600, S63 AMG, S65 AMG, GL350, GL450, GL550, B200, CLS550, CLS63 AMG, ML350, ML450, ML550, ML63 AMG, S450, E350, C230, C280, C350, and additional listed Mercedes-Benz models with automatic headlamp levelling. This part cross-references 34586 and 926200 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Headlamps pointing too high or too low after suspension movement
• Faulty automatic leveling response on xenon-equipped Mercedes-Benz models
• Warning lights or leveling system faults related to the ride-height sensor circuit
• Uneven beam aim after sensor wear, corrosion, or connector damage
• Loss of proper headlight adjustment during load changes

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, pole count, and OE number before installation. This sensor is specified for vehicles with automatic headlamp levelling, so confirm the vehicle is equipped with the correct xenon leveling system and match the OE reference 010 542 77 17. Inspect the mounting area and wiring connector for corrosion or damage before replacing the sensor.
