Headlamp adjustment.

Featured Replies

I've recently changed my suspension back to standard ride height from the lowered springs. I believe (could be wrong) that the suspension was lowered by the dealers with the Eibach spring upgrade.

 

Now that I'm back to standard height my headlamps are way too low and need to be adjusted.

 

So a couple of options have entered my mind with someone giving me a curve ball to think about (option 3)

 

Options.

1, manually adjust the headlamps the old fashioned way by turning a few screws.

 

2, the bar on the ride height sensor needs to be reset. 

 

3, adjustment needs to be reset by VCDS.

 

So my question is, which route do I need to take 1,2 or 3? 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

 

If it has Xenon's fitted as standard then they need to be reset by VCDS (this will reset the "home" position)

This will also rule out option 2.

 

If you have standard bulbs then use option 1 and turn the adjuster.

Yeah, it's got xenons, thanks for the heads up.

 

Don't suppose you know where in VCDS the setting is do you?

It'll be basic settings in the xenon range controller.

 

You still need access to headlight aim tool to check it's done correctly :-)
