Just bought this CPO car about a week ago(14,500 mi). 2 nights ago I took it out for the 1st time after dark. My Xenons were showing only 40-50 ft of road in front. Can't believe previous owner put up with this for a year. Obviously Audi dealer didn't ck .
Planned to go back to selling dealer but then remembered seeing a previous post here that the adjustment was a white screw on back of headlight assembly. Screw can be turned w/ either fine Philips screwdriver or Allen wrench. I have both but used the screwdriver. Several complete clockwise turns raised the xenons to a proper level. Faced large brick wall in dark area to see adjustments. When I thought they were high enough drove on dark 2 lane road to see if approaching cars flashed their lights @ me. When nobody flashed me I raised the lights more. Did this 2-3 times. Entire process took about 1 hour.
I now have GREAT night lighting & nobody flashing me.
