Anyone know how to aim one headlight?
I know you can raise or lower both headlights at the same time using a VAG COM but is there a way to adjust just one? VAG COM has two seperate modules for left and right headlights (in addition to module 55 for both headlights) but I can't access them....it doesn't allow me to connect for some reason. Thoughts?

Do you have a Bentley guide? (read on for overview)
The procedure is outlined in the Bentley guide..
You need to put the aiming computer into adjust mode, manually adjust the affected headlight (two hex head screws on my car one at rear of light, one through hole in fender/liner area-- must turn them both the same amount in the same direction). BTW, I did final adjustments in 1/8 turn increments til I got it right -- lots of test drives.
After adjusting, adapt the aiming computer to the new point of aim to put it back into normal mode.
I posted the specific adaptation channels awhile ago and don't have the time to find it this AM.
I think it was in the VAG COM forum...
Hope this helps!
