Default Re: Is this an appropriate representation?

Uhhhh - Thats two cars producing that last image, not just two headlamps! I have Euro Xenons and have the same as you - The "Side Flares" (Kinks) align with one another

Default Can't adjust mine either...

The adjustment **** closest to the corner lamp on mine just spins and spins, meanwhile, the cog that it *should* be turning doesn't budge. It seems to be that something is either loose or stripped

Default One of mine ended up being stripped when i brought it to Audi...

The euros are just way harder to adjust than the stock housings for some reason.

Default This is close...

Except it looks like the two lights are diverging (ie the kinks would get further apart as you backed the car away from the garage).

The kinks ( _/ part) should stay at the same vertical and horizontal alignment as the car moves towards and away from the garage; ie they should be one car width apart from each other

This <IMG SRC="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/14421/eurolights2-low.jpg" BORDER="0"> is approximately correct, though I think the passenger light is just a hair too low in this picture. If I get a chance tonight I'll snap a shot of my current beam pattern on a wall.
