Default LED headlights are a bit low

I feel like my q7 Prestige LED headlights are set too low. I can't see far enough. I don't feel comfortable and confident driving it on highway at night.

Are they adjustable?

I agree. The low beams cut off to close. High beams are excellent though . I'm going to ask service to raise them slightly, but i'm doubtful that they will. I'm sure there are guidelines that they must follow.

IIHS would agree rating them Poor and only Marginal when equipped with high beam assist. I find that most Audi models have their headlights aimed low.

Then wonder if we can adjust them through OBDeleven?

On my A7, there is a manual adjustment screw. My low beams only lit three dotted lane markers when I got it. Two turns clockwise brought them to a normal height. Here's a picture of the drivers side adjuster with a screwdriver in it.

Its funny I read a post not so long ago stating the headlights were blinding for drivers of mazda mx5's Audi tt etc. My view was drive a proper car.

What is a "proper car"?
