So i have done some research and can't find what I am looking for, I recently changed from a oem HID ballast set up to a after market DDM tuning kit so i know I lose the adaptive headlights and they will just stay still. However they are still in a non centered position so my beams are all over the place. Anyone have a fix for this or can I used VAG com to center the beam? Thanks
You can adjust the height if the beam by removing a small circular button cover on top of the headlight. Under that cover there is a screw you can turn it to where you would like. Not sure if there is one for turning as well.

[Select]
[55 - Xenon Range] (For some newer vehicles, use [29 - Left Light] instead )
[Basic Settings - 04]
Group 001
[Go!]
Wait at least 20 seconds for the headlamp motors to move. The headlamps are now in their adjustment position. Turn on headlights. Adjust them via their manual adjusting screws as referenced against a suitable aiming target.
Scroll up to Group 002. The Xenon Range controller has now learned this position as its Home position.
Click the [Done, Go Back] button and you're all set.
Note: There have been reports of lowered vehicles displaying an error message in either Basic Settings group 001 or 002. If the vehicle height sensor(s) are bottomed out, it may be necessary to bend the sensor bracket to allow normal adjustment to occur. Also, check to make sure that the sensor arms do not have their pivots facing the wrong direction as shown in this thread: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2383036
