I have taken out the passenger side bulb, and try to fit in the new bulb that I bought, somehow it wouldn't sit in properly. I look at the oem and the bulb that I bought, sizes are exactly the same. Then I try the fit back the oem bulb, same thing, wouldn't sit properly and now the light is always on high beam level. And trick of installing this light with all these craws looking thingy?

Did you use vag-com to lock leveling to service level?

I tried to adjust my lights higher and without locking the leveling it didn't make difference. Once I used vag-com to lock it, I was able to see the difference while turning the adjusting screw.

No I didn't use the vag-com to lock leveling to service level. I will try tonight.
