2 Answers
Audi A4 headlight height adjustment method: The 1.8T model of this vehicle has a headlight height adjustment knob, which can be adjusted via the button; The 2.0T and higher models do not have a height adjustment knob and can be adjusted mechanically. First, open the engine hood, there is a screw at the rear of the headlight that can adjust the headlight height, turning the screw clockwise raises the height, while turning it counterclockwise lowers it. The Audi A4 is a B-class vehicle launched by FAW-Volkswagen, available in three displacements: 1.8T, 2.4T, and 3.0T. Among them, the 1.8T is divided into four versions: manual basic, automatic basic, comfort, and technology leading; the 2.4T displacement is divided into three versions: comfort, comfort sport, and comfort premium; while the 3.0T displacement has only one version, equipped with the quattro all-wheel-drive system.
When driving an Audi A4, I felt the headlights were too low to see the road clearly, especially during high-speed night driving, which was quite dangerous. Locate the small knob on the left side of the steering wheel with a bulb symbol, and gently rotate it to raise the headlight height. The first time I did this, it took a few tries—I adjusted it against the garage wall to ensure the light beam landed at the right spot, avoiding excessive height that could blind other drivers. If the lights still don’t move, it might be due to loose screws or a motor issue, requiring manual adjustment under the hood, though the knob usually does the trick. Always test the adjustment afterward—safety first, don’t wait for an accident to regret it. I recommend checking the headlight height during every maintenance to prevent mishaps.
