How many turns did you do? I'm worried left and right going to be off. Also, does this throw any code changes to the car??? Thanks!

I lost track of them. I kept foing back and forth to adjusting them to a point that I felt they are bright and far enough but not blide other cars. And the car did not throw any error codes.

Thanks. Are you happy with the results? I will make the change today.

I am still confused as to why they are not corrected by the factory??

Happy New Audi Year!

They are much better after setting them higher. I feel more confident driving it on highway at night.

Assuming you turned them clock wise, right?

Thanks.

I forgot, what I do remember is that I had them on up against my garage wall and I saw I was turning the wrong way so I went back to where they were aligned and turned 1 full turn the other way. Basically you can't screw this up as long as you're watching them on a wall at a distance of about 15-20'.

Has anyone noticed that the driver's side light is lower than right? even when you even them out, the passenger is always higher.

I believe this is by design in most cars, so as not to blind the oncoming driver. In most cars I have owned, the drivers lights dips a bit lower

+1. That's how it is in all cars. So as not to blind the driver in the car coming from the opposite direction.
