Default When you are driving with low beams and the right light illuminates further than the left. At what

point is the stagger noticeable? What I have observed since I got my car back from the bodyshop.the cutback on the left side start about a foot to the right of the centerline on a 2 lane road. My entire lane is not illumnated. I don't remember how it was before. Also is there anyway that I can tell if the headlight are auto leveling. I had a code and a warning light but it was vagged to remove it. I seem to have been able to notice the lights self leveling before when I started the car , but not so much now.

Default 2nd. There is a screw on the top front of the headlight housing which you can screw tighter.

Rotate about 3 revolutions and the light should dip down nicely. I did this, but my lights do not self level and I get the above warning light, too. ( Anyone?

Default I thought you needed a VAG to align the headlights properly...

Check with your dealer. They will probably charge you, but that should be covered by the insurance company. I have no idea how you should proceed with this, though...

Default Odd. I'd rather have both headlights shortened than have one illuminating further.

It looks kinda funky. :/

Default I know that the stagger is normal but where is it supposed to be located in relation to the driving

lane?

Default

Right down the center of the lane, as far as I can tell.
