Default xenon headlight adjust.

does anyone know the correct procedure to adjust my xenons? ihad body work done and the side that was fixed is aimed too high, plus my dash light came on for the leveling.

Default look again. I have Xenons as well and the adjustment screws are in fact there. (more)

They're where the illustration shows them to be and they are whitish in color with a hex key hole.

If you don't have a VAG-COM, you're not going to be able to clear the error message appear in your instrument cluster anyway, so you may as well go to the dealer for a PROPER, ACCURATE alignment (using the holes mentioned above) along with a reset as described in my instructions to clear the alignment error message.

Default latest

I did everything as described, but I have a fault code still, it is ((01535 -Control Circuit for right headlight range control adjusting motor (v49) 30-00 -open or short to B+))

any ideas? I am going to dealer monday, but if I can save the trip I would rather.

Ahhh ok that error is not due to an alignment problem but an open or shorted circuit to the motor (as the message suggests). If the code comes back after you clear it, then you should check the wiring to the motor, harness, etc. Someone else here may have other suggestions if that doesn't turn up anything...
