Audi Adaptive Headlight Fixed Forever

Watch as I fix my Audi A6 defective adaptive headlight feature forever with VCDS and a few minutes time.

What kind of world do we live in that fixing a headlight issue takes this much effort. Hey made for a good video anyway.

And it is a 2005

Nice video and straith to the point, can you post a link to get the download steps? Yeah i can watch it while troubleshooting an Audi Q7 2007 model but having the instructions handle goes a long way. Thanks for the video.😊😊😊😊

[@GSEShop]

Your welcome, but honestly I forget where I found them. It was in an Audi enthusiast page for sure

[@chrislabarre9617]

Will this coding work for an A8L as well? I've got a 2007 A8l with that same damn light that just came on and just ordered my scan tool from Ross tech.

[@GSEShop]

I believe so, I am not an Audi tech but I do own one. This was a 2005 A6

How to fix i have audi a6 2.7 2005 my light go down after i start the car than 4-5 seconds go so Much up and i cant see so Good because they are so much up and it say adaptive problems how to fix that

[@bectasiuneraikens2997]

But the headlights will still adjust up and down ?

[@GSEShop]

@@bectasiuneraikens2997 nope

[@bectasiuneraikens2997]

@@GSEShop i mean the xenon will still adjust automatically ? No ? If the car is bended forward they will not go up ? Afs as i know is for left and right.

[@bectasiuneraikens2997]

@@GSEShop i mean when you start the car. I had before an audi a8 d3 with no cornering lights. They move up and down to adjust when starting car. Another a8 d3 have afs feature with error. If i decode afs feature they will still move up and down to adjust when starting car right ?

Did you put fuse 9 and 18 back in? I have a S5 2017 and adaptive light issue has come on and there saying on some forms i need new modules. Have you done a delete to the adaptive lighting then? Thanks

[@GSEShop]

Yes put the fuses back in, I am not sure about the module but it did delete the “adaptive” part of the headlight features. You can even change them to the halogen style that was also an option and a lot less fussy than the Xeon ones.

[@theninjarex]

Make a new video, make sure we can see what's going on on your screen. Cannot se anything.

[@GSEShop]

I am sorry, I just rewatched it and the VAG is very visible and I talk my way through it. I am not sure what else I could have done and I only have one audi to fix, but if I get another one with this problem I will try it again.

Thank you very much it helps 🥳🥳

Your welcome

[@corbettenders4257]

I dont' think I'd call this a fix. You are removing the feature entirely, not fixing it.

[@GSEShop]

Depends on your point of view.

[@mariusgodeanu5069]

Exactly! It's like ... the TV stopped working. Let me FIX IT by throwing it away :))))

[@GSEShop]

@@mariusgodeanu5069 it keeps the warning light off and the car on the road.

[@mariusgodeanu5069]

@@GSEShop the car would have been on the road regardless of the light on the dash. I know cause I have that light appearing from time to time ( that's how I found your video :) ). Although I understand your point about the light being annoying, the fact that you said FIXED FOREVER in the title, while you completely removed the feature altogether, is indeed misleading :) Anyway - thanks for the... solution, it could work for a lot of people.

[@GSEShop]

@@mariusgodeanu5069 I fixed the light on the dash and the annoying alarm forever. Sometimes when you have a 10+ year old car you cannot just keep throwing parts at it and there are no new ones at a decent price. I tried several eBay specials before coming to this. It was my forever fix.

[@showmerepair]

Great Video!!!! I had so much trouble finding this information. You walked through it. I come from the Ford world. Forscan is easier to use. Thanks again

[@GSEShop]

I think VCDS is pretty cool, but this was the only logical fix for this car that didn’t cost more than I paid for it. Thanks for the comment

[@showmerepair]

@@GSEShop your exactly right. My customer didn’t want to spend thousands on new head lights.

[@GSEShop]
