You need vag com to set GTI headlights- you can do it yourself if you have it, or get a dealer to do it for you

Ask nicely ad it will cost nout

cool! lol just i'm sure sumone was on here sayin tha there are ajusters on the actual lights them selves, not sure though. why cant you just have a dial in the car! they gave you the option of heated leather seats but no head light ajusters! lol

yeh they do have adjusters on the actual lights, but vag will reset them after a whille, you have to let the computer know what you are doing otherwise it doesnt like it!

Everytime you restart the car, the headlights usually self level

they are a bugger for doing that ... the manual adjustment only really helps for alignment of the beams

The best option, as mentioned above, is to have the lights' levels set with vag com. Yes you can mess about with the adjusters but its only a short-term measure and not guaranteed to work for long at all
