Default My Low Beams are a little too low

I have the full LED headlight option. Is there an easy way to adjust the headlights up a little?

Yes, go to the dealer and ask them to do the adjustment. It requires a VAG-COM tweak once the new level is set, or else it will automatically adjust down to the old level once you start the car again. I had the adjustment done and it worked wonders on the effectiveness (range) for the LED headlights.

That is not completely accurate you can adjust the point where the headlights will adjust from, with a screwdriver pretty easily, I adjusted mine because one was higher than the other one even the manual states how to do so if I remember correctly Do you see where the screwdriver is? You just turn it to the right to go high and left to go low, mine is an A7 but I am sure the A6 is similar

I can confirm its a simple as a twist of a screwdriver in an A6, mine were pointed way low, I leveled them for more range now its literally a night and day difference.

Me too. A quick 1/8 to 1/4 turn made all the difference. My adjustment seemed to take - never used the Vag-com. Get used to driving with your hand on the high beam lever - our lights are bright ( I don't have LED's on my A6 Prestige) - if you go too high. You will get flashed - at least I did here in NJ before I backed them down ever slow slightly.

Are you referring to the MDX with HID or the LED?
