OK, so i figured out how to move the beams around on my HIDs, now the question is how do i figure out which way the headlight should be pointing? My body shop may have adjusted something slightly wrong when they put the left light back in. Is there some sort of general "calibration" process to be done with measurements or something to give me a general idea of if they aimed it right? Eyeballing it doesn't work so well and it seems like it's a little different than the right (untouched) headlight...
 
Re: Another Headlight leveling question (michdmb)

Did you run a VAG-Com scan on your car at all yet? The body shop (the VW dealer no less) didn't clear the code stored when the removed one of my headlights and they would not self level. They pointed too low until I cleared the code.

Re: Another Headlight leveling question (blackvento36)

I don't have VAG com, but noticed nothing different when auto-leveling. I've found a couple of good guides online on how to properly level your HIDs and may do that myself. I also might try to talk the dealer into leveling them properly at my next service if they'll do it for free....
