That is the up/down adjustment shown in the pic. I did this to mine a few weeks ago and the visibility is much better.

Awesome, thanks!

Adjusting this doesn't lead to a $1,200 wheel alignment?

I found the adjuster on mine (it's farther back on the 2016) but I'm going to leave it alone. I still think mine are misaligned from the factory. I've never seen a car where the driver's light is aimed higher than the passenger and mine is...

I've got an appointment with the dealer tomorrow morning for this and the new camera electronics (to hopefully fix the blue side view cameras).

I think the drivers side should be a tad lower or the same not to blind oncoming vehicles. Mine are about equal.

Guys...this is part of the case for why the United States Government needs to get their heads out of their asses and approve the LED Active Matrix headlights. Misalignments like this would be a thing of the past and we would all have a much safer driving environment.

I do agree that the left one should be a bit lower than the right.

Yeah, I know... That's why I'm not messing with mine and will let the dealer do it.

They should both be aliened at the same height. Doesn't matter which one is higher it will still blind oncoming traffic. The ideas that right can be higher then the left comes form the old days when this was true. Now days the lights have improved and both will blind on-coming traffic if not aliened correctly.

New module didn't fix my blue cameras... Dealer still has my car but they gave me a brand new 2016 A6 2.0T Quattro to drive around in the interim.

Mini Review:

The Bad:
- Extremely slow off the line, even weighing 700 lbs less than my S6 and having the newer 252HP/273TQ engine.
- Sounds buzzy like a 4 Cyl.
- Rattles like a pair of maracas, even with just 50 miles on it (much worse than my door rattle, but in the same area, I think there may be an assembly issue here...).
- Default seats are horribly uncomfortable.

The Good:
- Because the car is so much lighter than the S6, it actually feels pretty nimble.
- Passing acceleration is surprisingly good.

The Meh:
- Fuel economy is only marginally better than the 4.0T... Driving to the dealer I got 20.6 MPG in my S6. Driving back I got 22.1 MPG in a 2.0T A6.

EDIT: Talked to dealer, they're talking to Germany but the current plan is to replace the entire 5F.

Still no luck on my blue cameras. After replacing two more (unnamed) modules, they started testing the resistance of the wires themselves. One came up higher than expected so here's hoping for tomorrow.
