Default Leveling headlights

My headlights are not level but the leveler light inside the cabin isn't dinging at me...

is it a dipped light?? Like a little headlight with beams pointing down? That's probably your leveling motor. Time for a new one.

the leveling motor was just replaced about 6 months ago because of an accident. they are just off, like aimed wrong. I'm thinking the leveler is even but the lights are off, like the repair shop just ghettoed it.... I can't take it back to them either cuz I now live in MI and they are in FL

I believe there's a way to manually level them, check your headlight assembly.

stock hids correct. regular halegeon capsuls have two screws on the top of the housing used to adjust.

audie when u open ur hood and look at ur headlights there should be two white caps on ur housing. This is the manaul adjustment screws for ur headlights. Pop off the caps if they are on still and i believe the two caps closer to the radiator are for up and down adjusments and the ones closer to the tires are for left to right adjustment. OR if u have access to a vagcom u can go this route or pull ur number 10 fuse. http://www.a4mods.com/index.php?page...autolevel.html
