Default LED headlights

Just got a 2014 A6 (my third A6), and have noticed that the LED headlights don't seem to be too well aimed. With the low beams on, they only seem to illuminate a hundred feet or so in front of the car. High beams work great.

Has anybody else noticed this problem?

The headlights in general are adjustet too deep (means too short). Go to the dealer and let them adjust higher.

You might have a hard time getting them adjusted as they are set for prime viewing (about the distance you specified) and they shy away from tweaking them. You can try though.

You can adjust it yourself (see the picture for the up/down adjuster right behind the headlight. Pull the car up about 10-feet back from a flat surface (garage door, whatever), so you can see where the lights are adjusted now. Insert a flat blade screwdriver and turn the adjuster so the lights are raised slightly. Try that and if not enough adjust up a little more.
