Hi

Searched www and not found any useful info regarding increasing the height of my dipped beam headlights as they are too low, even on the highest setting of the adjustment in the car. They are so low that when dip from full beam feels like turned on sidelights.

Any help, eg online diagrams

Many thanks

Theres a white plastic screw type thing on top of the headlight unit, visible when the bonnet is open. Park in front of a wall (in low light), turn on lights, turn screw to adjust up or down (I put a bit of tape on ther wall to mark the start positon of the top of the beam).

Actually I think there may be 2 screws to each lamp, one for side-to-side, one for uppy downy.

Edit - this [url= http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=207746 ]link[/url] has a diagram which may be useful
