Adjusting Headlights

[chrislane31]

How do you adjust the halogen head lights?

if you look on the top of the assembly there is a screw there with a 1.0 percent and a picture a a headlight on it, you can loosen that and move you headlight up or down a bit, then tighten the screw back up but that is for minor adjustments, major adjustments i would just take to the dealer they have a tool that helps them adjust headlights.

Look for the white screws, usually covered with black caps. Pop off the black caps and use a phillips or an allen wrench to adjust. One should be directly behind the top mounting tab and the other will be close to the fender.

Do not mess with the screw with the 1% mark next to it. That has nothing to do with adjustments.

Funny because thats what the dealer told me and it does move a little. But now that i just ran out to see it true your right :) Sorry didn't mean to misinform.

No worries. BTW, the BS I have heard from the service department over the years is AMAZING. I could not imagine buying a car in the R8 price range and being treated to the same sh#t sandwich they feed the rest of us most of the time!

Very true, very true.
