Xenons
I understand that normal headlights shoot really low and far, but is there any way i can aim my xenons higher so at least they hit road signs.. people say i will lose distance on the light shine, but i have a friend who has a Acura 3.2 CL Type S and he simply aimed his up wit a screwdriver, and the illumination is amazing...any takers on teaching me how to do this...

You have a new car. Have the dealer make sure they are aimed properly. Otherwise...
the control stalk on the left side has this amazing function. It is in the manual as well. It is called "High Beams". When appropriate it can be activated to send the light farther.
People who have been able to acquire a car such as an A6 should no enough not to ask this question....I know, I haven't had my coffee yet but, damn. It really is pissing me off.
I hate driving and being blinded by some ones lights, giving them a discreet blip of the highs, and then having them indignantly blast their highs at me. No doubt they were probably acquaintances of flavorkickk's friend.
Rant off.

Don't take it as hostility...
The Xenon's are very bright and raising them up will direct them into oncoming driver's eyes. They are designed with the cutoff for precisely this reason. IMHO, it's just common courtesy to not deliberately irritate other drivers :-)
There is a way to raise them but it's best done using the VAG-COM tool along with the adjusting screw.
