Tomorrow I'll upload more detailed photos of the headlamps and lever that should be moved.

Is yours the pre facelift version - will be interesting to see where lever is?

My post facelift (2014) was initially difficult - easyish now I know how

Nice and flat beam

I think I have the same headlights :)

I'll post more photos tomorrow :)

Lever is located "outside" of the lights - you don't need inspection camera to see it :) just put your head down :) Very easy access :) but you need fairly long screwdriver - at least 15cm - 20cm.

64 plates, estate, SE, 2.0 CR, DSG, 4x4, 170+ :)

Do you not have the option for "Tourist Mode" in the Maxidot?

Much better than the stickers eh?!

Like I said before - long screwdriver is best :) and it's really not that hard as it seems :)

Yes that looks the same as mine

 

I'll have another try without the camera - but when I first tried when I got the car couldn't get a reasonable view and what I did see was obstructed by my hand when inserting a screwdriver. I suppose might be better with a longer one! Saying that I don't have the daintiest of hands  :notme:

 

Local dealer failed to reach the levers as well

 

At least when adjusted the beam is amazingly flat. I've just clicked mine back to UK driving

Had a quick look - without the camera can JUST see the lever on the offside, struggled with the nearside  :sweat:

 

With my vari-focals getting in the way I think I'll stick to my cheapy inspection camera - very easy to visually guide in the screwdriver to the nicely illuminated lever  :nerd:

 

I bought the camera to trace an under floorboard leak a few years ago. Worth having around for all sorts of things including finding dropped headlight unit bolt on engine under-tray after converting my Superb I for continental driving (similar but bigger lever)
