XENON's

Post by Tymondo »

Hi All,

I find that when the dipped beam is on it's far to low and I would like to raise the beam.

I believe they are self levelling so I assume I can't adjust this at all?

The reference datum that is used by the self levelling system can be adjusted using VCDS. A lot of people lower their car but do not amend the datum for the Xenon lights meaning they shine too low.

Also worth checking the sensors on the front and rear passenger side wishbones as the rods are prone to damage.

You dont necessarily need vcds.
Just turn them on and set the height using the allen key adjusters on the headlight.
Mine were awfully low even when my car was stock. Soon sorted that out lol
