Look for a white screw...

[jibberjive]

[RitchS4 914]

Should be 2 plastic adjuster screws

One's for lateral adjustment, the other's for level.

If neither are making any difference to the beam, then I'd suspect the adjuster threads are stripped.

Or the adjusters have seperated from the reflector assemblies...

For the greatest light output, I'd suggest 4300k.

What is the complete kit you purchased?

You can't adjust them just by turning the screws, you have to go in VAG-COM and set it (I forgot the parameters) and THEN you turn the screws.

Yep. Stock motors dont turn unless you tell them to "LEARN" a new position...

Thats the procedures..

For the lazy.

Ross-Tech is not responsible for any damage or problems that may result from following these instructions. They are to be used at your own risk. As always, you should refer to a Factory Repair Manual for your vehicle!

This procedure applies only to older Xenon systems that use KW-1281. Procedures for specific vehicles, including newer cars that use KWP-2000 or CAN systems can be found in the Ross-Tech wiki.
This procedure details how to perform a Xenon Headlamp Adjustment on many VW/Audi vehicles equipped with Xenons (HID's). This procedure cycles the motorized headlamp adjusters to their center position so that the beams can be adjusted. This does NOT align the headlamps by itself. You still need to manually adjust the headlamps via the adjusting screws as referenced against a suitable aiming target.
If this procedure is only partially performed, there may be a DTC stored in the Xenon Range memory indicating "Headlights not adjusted". To clear this, you need to complete the entire procedure.

There are certain test conditions that must be met before doing this procedure:

• Vehicle must be parked on level ground and "settled" on its suspension
• Parking brake should be OFF
• Ignition should be in the "On" position
• Headlamps should be "Off"

Procedure for Aligning Xenon Headlamps:
[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

I got D2S 6000k

So I just got a new set of headlight housings and can't slide the stock leveler motor up in the slot because it's not long enough. Do I just adjust the white screws on top of the light to get it to slide in, then adjust it via VAG-COM, or do I plug the motor into the electrical connector and make the motor push the thing out via vag so that I can slide it in?

[lucajS4]

how did you install them did you have to use the condersors??

[Mattgfx]

No Luck Using VAG-COM ... what could be wrong??!

[GetAudiHere]

Hmm weird. i thought you just adjusted the white plastic screws as well...

Make sure you post pics of this setup when you get a chance!

[Mattgfx]

[Mattgfx]

still no luck. someone help

[jayski006]

ever figure out how to do it.. i'm in the same predicament?

[Mattgfx]

headlight is crack on the inside..

[quickaudi]

make sure the threads aren't stripped out
also, make sure you put the bulb and ignitor back into the headlight so the back cover isn't messing with the ignitor and forcing it up - btdt
you shouldn't have any problem using the vagcom to extend the motors
