Headlight focus on A8

    Does anyone know how to focus the dipped beam headlights on a 2005 A8? I had the bulbs changed by Audi servicing a few weeks back, they obviously weren't focused properly. But to avoid going back over to them and waiting around I'd rather do it myself and get the nct retest done.

    They are standard headlights,not bi-xenon.

    If it was focused perfect before, my money is on poor fitment of the bulb.

    They look like they are both focused too high, from what I can see driving last night.

    If any one knows how to focus them down itd be a great help if I could do it myself.

    Pretty easy to focus so,you could do a DIY job on it your self and park on a level surface a few feet from a wall - i presume it's just the standard two adjusters,there should be a little hole on top of each headlight to stick a long thin screw driver into.

    Small adjustments is the key and remember a few inches on the wall will be a good few feet on the road out ahead.

    Failing that bring it to any decent quick fit style place.
