Default HID headlights blinding oncoming traffic

Looking at my car manual and Bentley manual it looks like I need a VAG COM to adjust the self adjusting headlights. Is this true? Anyone have any experience with this?
One positive is people get the hell out of the fast lane when I come up behind them at night.
Thanks
Scott

Default There are white/cream-colored headlight adjuster screw mechanisms on top of the headlight

Try those first. Drive up to a wall to help observe the light cutoff, and if one is higher than the other, adjust the high one down and then monitor the results while driving.

Best,
Bob

Thanks, I saw those but was unsure a manual adjustment would break the auto adjustment. I will give that a try.
