Yep, just close your garage door and turn the vertical adjuster until they raise by an inch or so. I was going to do the procedure as described above but my next door neighbor (Audi mechanic) came out and told me to put away my blue tape, tape measure and cardboard to block one headlight. He hoped in my car, pulled it in the garage and eyeballed it. Then he drove it around the block, came back and adjusted once more and it was done. Maybe 5 minutes total time. He said that usually 1.5 inches at 3 ft to take them back to normal after lowering them.
