Hello all. Do any of you know how to aim the headlights on a 2004 A4? I had a burnt bulb and after replacing, it appears the passenger side headlight is aimed lower than the driver side. I'm assuming this is pretty easy to take care of, but wanted to see if anyone has a picture of what I should be looking for once I pop the hood. Thanks for all of your help in advance.

 

There are two adjusters on top of the headlight "casing" they have caps on them. I think it's a hex if I remember correctly (they are white in color). Sorry, no pics.

 

Try this thingI found out by accident. With your car running, and lights on, turn off the ignition with the lights on. They will go off with the engine, then turn off the head light switch. Turn the ignition to on, or crank it, then turn on the light switch. You should see the lights come on, dip down, then level out again. Hopefully this helps you.

 

You probably didn't get the bulb back in correctly.

ALSO: You can't adjust the headlamps without a vag com or the dealers VAS 5052 scan tool, the automatic headlamp adjusters will re-align the headlamps back to where they were before you adjusted them unless you tell the headlight control module that your adjusting them.

 

Aren't the automatic headlight adjusters just for HID lamps? Mine didn't move back when I adjusted them.

 

Sorry, I messed this up yesterday, but I did it this morning and this is how it goes.With your car running, and lights on, turn off the ignition with the lights on.Turn the ignition to on, or crank it,with the light switch still on. You should see the lights come on, dip down, then level out again. Hopefully this helps you.

 

If you have halogen bulbs it doesn't have an automatic adjuster, most B6 A4's have zenon which is why i said it.
