It may be only factory fitted but I thought it was a legal requirement that xenon's had self levelling and auto-wash?
Hmm Not retrofitted the self levelling. Dont these lights have the screws on the units themselves to level them?
Ok so if I need to fit the self levelling where do i get this from and also what needs to be done? I am totally clueless at this stage....
Bear in mind that it won't pass the MOT without correct auto-levelling and washers so, as Ash says, you need to get sorted asap.
true but MOT as everyone knows is still based on who you take it to
I still havent sorted out my auto levelling and its been well over a year since i fitted my xenons... no issues and passes the MOT with flying colours! i'd also like to add i get no complaints or flashing from other drivers... but thats because i have purposly set it a couple mm lower than it should be
in the end we can go on all day saying what he should do but its down to him to decide, i just give both options for him
I have just purchased the same model A3 8P (Sept 59 plate) as this but with OE xenons. I want to adjust the Offside headlight horizontillaly slightly to the off-side as it is pointing to the nearside too far. However whichever adjustment screw I move, the headligh beam moves vertically. Any one any suggestions?

I think that's to adjust the adaptive system - basic adjustments can usually be done manually.Might be wrong but don't you have to set the lights to 'MOT Mode' with VCDS before you can adjust them ?

Just a Stab in the dark but you might have to do something in VcdsHi people,
I’m new to the forum & realise this is an old thread but hoping someone can help me out.
I’ve recently changed the drivers side headlight on my Audi A3 black edition (DRL xenon) due to my old one being damaged, so I bought one off eBay that had come off an A3 also, fitted it on the weekend gone.. come to turn the engine over to see if it was all good & I have an error coming up on the dash ‘headlight range control defective’ & also on turning the engine over the headlights have stopped the auto levelling/adjusting that they usually do.. so can anyone help me out as to what’s gone wrong here please..
Thanks in advance, Sam.
