Default headlight adjustment?

so a couple weeks back i did the cc mod and also put in new 6000k bulbs, very happy with the results looks wise but now my headlights seem to be pointing waaayy down like at the same level as the fog lights, more so on my passenger side then the driver side. so i grabbed a screw driver to try and adjust them at the adjusting screw and im twisting and twisting and twisting but the beam isnt moving up or down. i tried it on both sides and it didnt work either..the high beam adjustment works like it shoud but am i missing something or did something break? is there another way to get the beams pointing higher?

I have this problem too, but it's with my ecodes... Your adjustment things might not be hooked up... ? I dunno.

Try adjusting the headlamp. What I mean by that is the unloosen the bolts that hold the headlamp to the body of the car and adjust it that way. I believe their is two hex type bolts on the top and one behind the blinker.

It could have broke, but you won't be able to adjust it anyway unless you have a vag com. The second you start the car the headlight control module will put the headlamps at their last known position because you haven't told the module you are adjusting it. Check the write up on www.ross-tech.com for it.
