I have stock headlights, what else is there to do, I have had them checked at the stealership and they say they are properly aimed.

Be happy that you aren't in a Canadian S4, we didn't get HID's. Ours are so dim that we can't see

Default Use this guide to make sure they are actually aimed properly

<a href="http://danielsternlighting.com/tech/aim/aim.html">aiming</a> Its written for aiming e-codes, but the concept is the same.

Default Yeah well this is the second time, last night the cop stopped in his lane, he was coming towards me,

and waited till i passed him, then made a you turn and pulled me over. I had to explain to him that they are self leveling headlights and that Audi said they were properly aimed he disagreed but let me go. Still not worth the hassle.

Might be aimed too high and shine straight into their rear view mirror!
