Headlight height adjustment on the Audi A4

Model: Audi A4 B8 - Years 2007-2016
Part: Headlight

If our car has a self-adjusting system for the height of the headlights, it is possible to check the correct position of the headlights using a VCDS type diagnostic module. Every time we turn on the car, the control unit checks the position of the headlights by sliding them from bottom to top, testing all the adjustment range. If we connect our diagnostic system to the ODB2 socket, we can check the control unit to further verify the correct positioning, after which turn the panel off again and turn it on again and at that point the system will have been completely tested.
