  • I specifically show you how to adjust the height on MK5 GTI HID Projectors, but the process should be similar throughout all vehicles.

    the lights should be adjusted in front of a wall. You can easily adjust vertical and horizontal position.

      Actually both. Using a wall or garage door doesnt tell you how far your light is being thrown and if you need to go up or down.

    I recently replaced my headlight and ballast and once I did, now the level is off, can I adjust it the way you did manually? It won't seem to auto adjust

    Auto leveling will do that for two reasons:
    1- it’s broken and I’m safety mode
    2- you lowered your car
    In both case you need to fix it, by finding and fixing the issue and/or by resetting the sensor.
    Then only you turn the screws on the headlight to aim them properly.

    A Phillips screwdriver is easier to use.

      You have to use VCDS if you have automatic adjustment.

    Headlight autoleveling is THE DUMBEST MOST DANGEROUS option for a car. Can fail while driving and has but mostly, if rear tires are low OR high it effects autoleveling throwing off the "throw" or distance your lights can cast a beam of light ahead of car. (OR not throw a beam, LOL)

      The nut behind the steering wheel can also fail at any time. Dumbest design decision

    Don't smoke weed before doing video. NO seriously, park in front of the garage door and you can see exactly where they point using the horizontal lines on the garage door.
