How to adjust the headlights on an Audi

Model: Audi Audi Various
Part: Headlight

Video tutorial

In this video, you can see the correct way to adjust the headlights of an Audi vehicle: this is a task you should be able to perform if you replace bulbs or the entire headlamp unit. In the case of the YouTuber, he admits he hasn't done the alignment for years, so a little adjustment wouldn't hurt.

Under the bonnet of the Audi, there is an adjustment screw right above the inside of the headlamp unit, and a second one located in a hidden spot between the bodywork and the side indicator. To carry out the operation, you need an Allen key to turn the adjustment screw.

Position yourself in front of a light-coloured wall, and by illuminating it, you can see the changes in the beam of light; moving the vehicle forwards or backwards allows you to see the difference in the beam and adjust it.
