lights way to low

[S3eddiet]

Hi Folks, i have fitted night braker bulbs D1S to my 2007 S3 but have been noticing that have been getting closer and closer to the front of the car on the road and i just see the light on the road over the steering wheel which is around 7ft in front of me with both lights.
Does anyone know what could be causing them to be so close to the front of car?

This ones easy, you put the bulbs in the wrong way. They angle of the bulb means a looot. Try it again

If they are getting closer and closer as you say then the adjusters are not working. First thing is ti check the adj arm is connected and on the correct side.

I presume your S3 will have xenon's..?

If so then your light's will be none adjustable by a switch in your car, You have either fitted the bulbs the wrong way or you will need to get them adjusted but if this is the case then It's a Audi job or someone with VagCom and a headlight beam tester....

check the level sensing arms on the suspension, when they break the lights usually fall to the floor.

You'd be shocked at how many people I've seen put bulbs in upside down and makes there dipped beams so low to the floor it's scary, But fair enough you found it
