Default RE: S Type Headlight Adjustment

Your S-Type if it has Halogen bulbs does not have HID or self levelling.
There is two hex or allen head white plastic screws on top of each headlamp assy. One moves in and out and other up and down. I would start by facing it about 3 feet from a wall on level ground. Adjust lamps up first until they are just above your knee as you stand against the wall. Then adjust them left to right. At this point you want to back the car up about 20 feet from wall and they should be not touching each other. Drive it and see then make adjustments as necessary. Are you sure you installed the bulb correctly? Remove the back cover again and make sure the bulb is not loose inside. It is a common mistake.
Hope this helps.
