I've been driving an Audi A6 for several years, and manually adjusting the headlights is actually quite simple—you can do it yourself. First, you'll need a Phillips screwdriver or a specialized tool, and remember to turn off the engine and disconnect the power to avoid electric shock. Open the hood and locate the white or black adjustment screws on the back of the headlight assembly—one controls the vertical height, and the other adjusts the horizontal alignment. Park the car on level ground, about five meters from a wall, and turn on the low beams to observe the light beam position—it should be below half the height of the opposing license plate to avoid dazzling other drivers. Turn the screws while watching the light spot on the wall, making fine adjustments until the height is even. Don’t forget to check if both sides are symmetrical; if one side is higher than the other, it can affect nighttime visibility. The whole job takes less than ten minutes, but be sure to use a flashlight to clearly see the adjustment points to avoid scratching your hands or making mistakes. Regular adjustments can help prevent uneven tire wear issues.

I once encountered a situation where the headlight angle was too low, making it almost impossible to see the road clearly. I decided to manually adjust the headlights of my Audi A6. The steps were straightforward: turn off the engine, open the hood, go straight to the back of the headlight to find the small knob, and then turn the height adjustment screw. The key was to position the car straight against a wall for measurement. When I gently turned the screw, the light beam moved and instantly became a bit brighter. Throughout the process, safety came first—I wore anti-static gloves when handling wires and surrounding components to avoid accidental short circuits that could blow a fuse, which would be a real loss. After the adjustment, driving out for a night test drive was particularly rewarding. In fact, many details like the standard light height are suggested in the manual, so it's good to refer to it to avoid affecting the safety of oncoming drivers.

Adjusting Audi A6 Headlights Manually: Don’t Fear the Complexity, Precision is Key. Every time I replace a bulb, I readjust: close the engine compartment door, locate the plastic knob, turn it about half a rotation, and check if the beam height is balanced to avoid blind spots. For safety, always disconnect the power and ensure the car is level—otherwise, the adjustment will be poor and consume more power.
