I am having a lot of trouble adjusting these stupid things. Does this look okay?

I can't adjust them any higher (screw does not turn anymore). Does this mean I have them too high? When driving, the light on the left barely hits the bumper of the car in front of me.

ANY help will be greatly appreciated.

when you're driving the road will be lit at an angle with max illumination on your right hand side...the left side will have much less light. I basically aimed my car with stock DOT Xenons...then masked the pattern off with tape...pulled out the lights...put in the Euros and adjusted them, this is the easiest way to get them right the first time.

I'm going to use your picture as a guide. Hopefully I will be able to get it somewhere close to factory specs. There is a big plastic screw (located where the third screw goes) that I'm going to play with. I think this will allow me to raise the lights a little more.

I don't even want to think about adjusting the high beams.

Thanks for your help!<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/forum/m.new/a4/msgs/338217.phtml">https://www.audiworld.com/forum/m.new/a4/msgs/338217.phtml</a</li></ul>

take your car to the dealer he will adjust it for you they got special tool for that.

will adjust the elevation...if you want tomorrow I can measure the marks on my wall...that way you'll have the distance between the marks and the height...I can give you a general idea of how far back I was and from this you should be able to recreate the factory settings.

the higher part of the left "step" should be level with the lower part of the right "step". But adjust it so that the left illuminates approx 50 to 75 yards ahead.

That would really help. Thank you!

<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/headlightadjustmentfork.jpg">I was adjusting the wrong screw! That explains why my lights were hitting the cars in the lane to my right! They were set so far right that the screw would not turn anymore. For some reason I thought one screw was for the high beam and the other was for the low.

I'll give it another shot tonight (hope it doesn't rain).

Thanks for your post. It is what got me thinking that I was doing something wrong.

if you're lows are set right your highs are automatically properly set.

Regeards,
