Default 2014 LED Matrix Headlights

Could someone with US Full LED Headlights please help me out? I would like to see the following:

1. Picture of the beam pattern perhaps around 10-12 feet on a wall, taken from standing in between the head lights and/or from the driver's seat. I can't seem to line up my headlights correctly.
2. Picture of the light color. I seem to have a warmer temp color than a cool white color. I am not sure if that's the actual color or there's something wrong with my headlights.

Thanks in advance!

If you live in the US then you don’t have Matrix headlights.

You have the US full LED headlights. Google Audi Matrix headlights to find out what we have all been missing in the US.

Hi, below are my headlights. The surrounding is dark, but the wall is slightly pinkish/cream.

For the color temp, if you look at the headlights, it appears cool white, but if you look at the reflection, it is almost pure white (neither cool white nor warm white). It may appear warm white in some lighting conditions. But It wont be as cool as Mercedes / BMW LED lights

I dont think your background is helping much decipher the colour but they appear to be fine. There will always be a colour hue especially near the top cut off line. If you turn the head lights on and go far away maybe 100m or so they should appear to be cool crisp white white. Any yellowish seen from afar will mean you may have an issue.
Also try it against a white wall

The Blueish hue happens because of the Shield cut-off. Generally the color is close to 4800K

Thank you so much for the pics, The Expendable! Right off the bat I can tell you that my headlights are dimmer, warmer temperature, and seems to be darker (lack of light) to the right of the passenger headlight. I'll take some pics tonight.
