Bosch Mercedes-Benz Atego Headlight Range Adjustment Actuator 0 307 852 328 Ships Today
Buy this Bosch headlight range adjustment actuator for your Mercedes-Benz Atego. The 0 307 852 328 features electric operation. Direct replacement for failed factory units. Ships Today.
The Bosch 0 307 852 328 is an electric headlight range adjustment actuator for Mercedes-Benz Atego trucks. Unlike manual adjusters that require tools, this electric actuator moves the headlight vertically from the dashboard. When the original actuator fails, the headlight beam stays fixed in one position. This replacement restores proper load-dependent headlight levelling.
Signs Your Headlight Range Actuator Has Failed
Headlight Beam Stays Low After Loading
When you load your Mercedes-Benz Atego, the rear suspension compresses and the nose rises. Headlights point upward, dazzling oncoming drivers. The electric actuator should compensate. If the beam stays low or high regardless of load, the actuator has failed.
Clicking Noise From Headlight Area
A failed actuator often makes a continuous clicking or buzzing sound. The internal gears strip or the motor runs without moving the headlight. This indicates the Bosch 0 307 852 328 needs replacement.
Dashboard Adjustment Does Nothing
Turning the headlight level control dial on your Mercedes-Benz Atego dashboard should move the headlight beam. If nothing happens and the bulb works, the actuator is the likely cause.

How electric headlight range adjustment works: The actuator connects to a level sensor on the suspension. When load changes, the system sends a signal to the actuator. It moves the headlight reflector up or down to maintain correct beam aim regardless of vehicle attitude.
Fitment Guide for Mercedes-Benz Atego
This Bosch actuator fits:
Mercedes-Benz Atego (various model years)
Left or right headlight position (same actuator fits both sides)
Trucks with electric headlight range adjustment

How Atego headlight range adjustment actuator Works
The system has three main components:
Suspension level sensor – Detects vehicle load and attitude
Dashboard control dial – Allows driver override for trailer towing
Actuator (this part) – Physically moves the headlight reflector
When you load your Mercedes-Benz Atego, the nose rises. The actuator automatically moves the headlight beam down to maintain correct aim. When you unload, the beam moves back up.
This prevents dazzling oncoming drivers while keeping the road illuminated correctly.
