    Headlight calibration after lowering

    Hello,

    After lowering our 2012 Q5 I noticed that the headlight leveling is much more sensitive. It's real bad on right turns, they dip all the way down. I did some searching, but could not find how to recalibrate the headlight level sensor. I tried resetting all basic settings with VAG-Com but it says something along the lines of not being done in the correct order. Any help would be appreciated.

    I havent seen a way to adjust this with VCDS yet, the bits havent been labeled yet...
    Are the lights level when the car is parked? You can adjust them manually with the adj screw located on each housing.

    When stationary the headlights are level, and most of the time cruising they stay that way but with medium bumps they will move up and down much more dramatically than normal. Then only on right turns they will point all the way down, then comes back up to normal when the car is no longer leaning towards the left.
