[@jasonccolon]

Thank you! Just bought a '14 S4. It is lowered slightly and I immediately noticed the headlights were not projecting far enough at all. It was actually kind of dangerously unlevel. Not sure how the previous owner dealt with it. Was considering an OBDEleven for the blinker wink elimination and then saw this video. Bought it immediately. Not an hour ago I went out and ran it and just like yours it auto adapted with no need to manual adjust. Great product, great video! Thanks! Will def recommend both!

[@dannya8833]

It can auto adjust?! Through obd11?

[@jasonccolon]

@@dannya8833 I don't recall the process since I watched and did this a couple years ago, but yes, they corrected themselves to level once I ran through this videos process.

[@dannya8833]

@@jasonccolon awesome! For over a year since lowered I’ve been like what the hell with the distance of my lights. Bought hi xtreme V2’s and wasn’t fully impressed until I found out I gotta adjust them! Haha thanks

[@bradsteigerwalt6718]

I don’t know why this video is still up. Plenty of people complaining about the auto leveling control throwing an error code and being unable to fix it. Doing research the only way to fix it is to bring it to Audi and pay $300 to have them recalibrate it. Usually these tutorials are helpful but this one just costed me $300.

[@scottjohnson6457]

Because they stated the problem went away on its own? Help us out with the dealer code it through and what you paid 300 for? Seems you got burned

[@evrenyilmaz6445]

you guys mention channel 11 for the headlight adjustment for this car. how about where we can find the channels for ours and is there a list for audis?

[@YossarianHelmet]

Same question. The video is entitled VW’s & Audis so how do you determine what channel for each vehicle?

[@smashervt]

Great Video! I am not sure about the B8.5 but on my B8 there is a left to right adjustment screw on the headllight as well. Its hidden in the corner of the light beside the fender!

[@jstephens6021]

I found this the other day in mine. But how do you adjust that one its alot different and hard to reach??

[@evan6108]

Be aware that for the iOS version of OBDEleven (version 1.7.0 at the time of writing this) there exists a bug that prevents the headlight adaptation to finish. If you follow the steps in this video verbatim, it will fail and will leave your headlights stuck in alignment mode generating fault code: "01539 - headlights were not adjusted." You must do this procedure only through the Android version OBDEleven.

[@arelsigler3845]

THIS is exactly what I needed. I’m about to do it use an android I hope it fixes it. It’s been pissing me off for weeks

[@brandoncook7508]

Hm. My app keeps crashing. What’s the work around? For iOS users?

[@mediocrul8750]

HELP! Got that problem by using an android, did someone solved it?

[@blitzenboy]

Just did the adaptation through iOS app and then found this after the error where it could not complete the adaptation, need to find an android device to see if it will fix it

[@ItzMaxton]

Thank you so much Evan, I owe you a coffee or something.

[@persianwhite]

This topic was what I wanted to ask for the oldest time! Thank you so much!

[@2GOPROCBR]

You said for this car the channel is 011 what if i have a mk7 gti how do i find the channel for my car?

[@sickml430]

I'm in the same boat. What is the channel for a MK7

[@tanamati6832]

No need to know the channel. Just go to module 55, Basic settings, and there will be a drop down menu to put in service mode and acknowledge the settings.

[@suitabdou8]

Thnx for the video . Would you like to show us how to do the same thing with VCDS

[@serafik]

Great video! I tried using this to get rid of my dipped headlight error, but ran into an error upon holding the check mark. "(22) Functions cancelled, marginal conditions have not been met. " How can I fix this?

[@serafik]

@@Jerry-fg7gh Unfortunately not. Just been living with that annoying lil thing.

[@toothferrin]

I have a 2008 mk5 gti with a droopy drivers side headlight. My car is not lowered. I temporarily fixed the problem by manually adjusting the headlight up to an acceptable height. But now the flash to pass lights are aimed at the tops of pine trees. How can I diagnose and fix the actual problem? I have obdeleven with pro. Love the show. Thanks.

[@jimmymodad7610]

Did you find a solution? Thanks

[@Alikhan78611]

Can you code out the adaptive headlight option using this tool? I am getting the error and just want to code it out so it thinks that I have non-AFS headlights.

[@lukaszM46]

I don't have basic settings option in central electrics, is there another way of doing it? adaptations perhaps?

[@vgrazzzyy]

did this and now i’m getting a ‘headlight range control defective’ fault code popping up on my dash. i try to clear it in obd11 but 5 seconds later it pops up again. my headlights are in a perfect position now though, so i’m not sure what to do

[@ryanh3285]

Did you have any luck with this issue?

[@xBuzz996]

I got the same error, what do i do?

[@vgrazzzyy]

@@ryanh3285 yeah the code is gone now but it went away on its own

[@vgrazzzyy]

@@Jerry-fg7gh it just went away for me after awhile

[@eeiko321]

Heya, I’m wondering, do you turn the screw clockwise or anti clockwise to raise the beam for a lowered car? Also I have an Audi 2013 B8.5 A4 2.0T. Is the code ‘011’ also??

[@mygtisfastr]

I just bought an obdeleven tool and I own a 2007 mk5 fsi any video to help with using this tool with my car would be great especially with controlling the valves and solenoids for the evap system

[@StealthS-hc1sb]

Can you guys do a dyi video on upgrading the stock heat exchanger using a custom unit and reservoir? Im currently on stage 2 but dont want to upgrade to those off the shelf units. There some audizine write ups but a video would be way better. Thanks

[@edris4727]

Can you make a video on how you made the orange part of the headlight into black?

[@B8.5OZ]

Audi states B8.5 xenon's do not need side to side adjustment as xenon's are low narrow beam. Effective at giving light directly in front of the vehicle. Normal headlights are 'wide beam's which means they are wide and light is dispersed beyond where the lens is directing the light. So no side to side adjustment necessary. My B8.5 has adaptable headlights so you can have them follow the steering under suitable cornering speeds which does dip the headlight range. Handy out of town where there is not much street lighting.

[@chrissun7579]

so what is the use of the other white screw?

[@TS-gg9dk]

So, is this also applicable for a VW Golf/Scirocco MY2013? I got a notice at the yearly inspection for too low headlight with Xenon lights. At start you can see adjustment (when its dark) but apparantly not enough, because the light is too close to the car ahead of it on the ground.

[@jeffp7368]

What’s the danger zone of the manual adjustment. My sensor is broken, constantly adjusting up and down. I pulled the fuse and it’s ok but a little low. I did one full rotation on the screw “up”and it helped a lot but I wouldn’t mind it a little higher.

[@sahanmudalige2191]

Hi There, My B8.5 doesn't have a cornering bulb but how can I activate fog lights as cornering lights ?

[@SergioFreire1]

Congrats on the video! Is this also how you test if the sensors/motors of the headlights are working? Or is there another step just to test their movement?

[@IMOVERVIEW]

For an audi a3 2015 what channel number should i use?

[@iahim1968]

Hello, do you know how to adjust{LHD-RHD} bi xenon audi a6c74g headlights to travel in the UK ? Thank you

[@tvillaa]

what happens if im not throwing any codes for headlight level, and they dont do the normal startup up/down, nor do the bouncy adjusting as you are driving, BUT I can test them up/down via vcds without problem?

[@RAINTedits]

WARNING! Can confirm that it still bugs and gives you an headlight adjustment fault code if you try to do this with IOS (Version 1.9.25). Was able to clear it tho when I tried it again with an Android tablet.

[@ayrtonoc]

And for an A3 8V 2019 what's the correcr procedure??

[@jobycondron7099]

What happens if I just adjust the height and do not use a scan tool? Will it throw my car out of wack?

[@HAYGURLHAY22]

Did it work?

[@viloxedd]

@@HAYGURLHAY22 it doesn't work. Without the scan you can only do minor adjustments to the height.

Hi. Can you tell me the channel for the headlights for a skoda octavia facelift ? 2.0tdi , 2018. My right headlight is a bit higher and i want to adjust it lower. Thanks

[@robertouimet3027]

I Have a 2013 Audi S7 that I purchased used at 110, 000 km. At 81,000 km they changed under Warranty the turbos and other work that involved removing the grill and front bumper. Don’t know how the previous owner copped with it but the head lights beam is too low and to drive it securely I have to put on the high beams. I’m thinking what ever work they did may have caused this? Can I use the same channel 011 for my 2013 S7?

[@brandoncook7508]

O8 r32. Does it matter if the headlight switch is off, auto or on? My reader just says inactive.

[@yutub561]

OBDEleven app changed for my 2016 and I needed to use the activation code and after going into central electrics a menu comes up, select the one that says something about lighting and run that one

[@leosilva79]

Will this work on a 2015 Audi S3 via Obdeleven?

[@h0tt5auc3]

Is this the same process that needs to be used with a 2018 GTI with the LED headlights? If so, what channel?

thanks for the video, very interesting information.¡¡ I would like to make a inquiry regarding the adjustments with a lowering spring kit, I have a Seat Alhambra Fr and I'm going to install a -30mm ST lowering spring. In the car I have DCC suspension and Bixenon with AFS , I do not have ACC.. Do I need to do a recalibration of the DCC and self level/ height sensors? I have read something in the web but I do not have very clear what and how to do. Not sure if I can do it I with OBD11. Thanks

[@Renee_R343]

What the hell is this guy on about? Nothing will fall off the adjustment screw inside the headlight housing. One way it's basically gonna tighten up and not being able to turn the screw any more and the other way it's gonna lose contact with the projector, you push the screw towards the light again and turn the screw in the other direction. It's gonna bite into the thread again and all is fine.

I had an Left front level control system sensor code on my audi a4 b6. The car is lowered but the lights are fixed in the right position. After changing the contact to the level sensor the lights once again worked as they supposed to. But I had just received my obdeleven so I was trying different things. And now the Left front level control system sensor code is back and whit a new code Headlights were not adjusted. I can move the lights up and down in the output test but rest of the time they are standing still. Need some help on this one please..
