How to adjust the headlight height of Audi A4L?

Audi A4L headlight height adjustment: The height can be self-adjusted using tools via the knob at the rear of the headlight assembly. The specific manual adjustment method for Audi A4L high beam height is as follows: 1. Find a wall, ensure the ground is level, and park the car approximately 10 meters away from the wall. 2. Measure the height from the ground to the center of the headlight and the distance between the two headlights. 3. Place a horizontal masking tape on the wall 0.1 meters lower than the headlight height, ensuring the tape is centered directly in front of the car. 4. Turn on the headlights. 5. Adjust the vertical adjustment screw until the headlight beam is centered on the tape on the wall. 6. Continue adjusting the vertical screw until the beam projects straight forward. To ensure accuracy, measure the height of the beam on the wall and the headlight height, confirming they are equal. Generally, there are no strict regulations for headlight height adjustment: The standard is to illuminate the road without interfering with the vision of drivers in front. During self-adjustment, use multiple reference points for comparison and repeatedly adjust until satisfactory.
I've been driving an Audi A4L for several years and know that adjusting the headlight height is quite important. Especially when driving at night, if the lights are too high, they can blind oncoming drivers, and if too low, the road isn't visible enough, which is quite dangerous. The adjustment method depends on the year and configuration, generally divided into two types: manual and automatic. For manual adjustment, you need to open the engine hood, find the small white knob behind the headlight, and use a cross-head screwdriver to turn it counterclockwise or clockwise to adjust the height. Turn it a bit and test the headlight effect to avoid over-adjusting—most A4Ls are like this. For models with automatic adjustment, there's a light knob on the left side of the steering wheel; press it to switch height modes or select the headlight height option in the vehicle settings on the central control screen—it's very convenient. I recommend checking the owner's manual first to confirm which type your car has. After adjusting, it's best to find an open area to test the brightness and ensure the safety line is properly aligned, preventing the light from scattering too far. By the way, regularly checking the height can also prevent premature bulb wear, extending the headlight lifespan and saving some money. In short, it's simple enough to do it yourself—don't be lazy.
