MK7.5 AFR Headlight Adjustment With OBD11

[fatshawnsmom]

So I’ve gone through the technically correct way to do it, and I have also adjusted without using an OBD11, and can’t tell you I noticed a difference

Will try just adjusting the screws and let you know how that goes, thanks!

I'm not sure if it helps, but for those having a problem with headlight aiming - this is how to tell the car "true-horizontal" with OBD11 (it's a 2 x part process):


Important: Make sure the car is fully settled on its suspension and that the vehicle is on level ground

Procedure 1

1. Ignition-ON, engine-OFF (IOEF)
2. Fire-up OBD11 software and connect to dongle
3. Navigate to the Control Units screen - select the module that has the Basic setting error (the error can appear in different modules)
4. On the Module screen - scroll-down the options and select Basic Settings
5. Select Basic headlamp setting and start the procedure
6. Adjust headlights using the manual screws as referenced against a suitable aiming target - or, if no adjustment needed - go to next step
7. Wait a period of time (suggest 10 seconds)- then stop the procedure

Procedure 2 (still in Basic Settings)

1. Select Acknowledge basic setting and start the procedure
2. The reference settings from Procedure 1 above should now be "recorded" in the module
3. Wait a period of time (suggest 3 seconds)- then stop the procedure
4. Back-out of the module, clear any error codes and exit OBD11 software (don't forget to disconnect the OBD11 dongle)

I also just adjusted the screws on the headlight. The car has no idea where the adjustment on the car are. The self leveling just keeps them in that spot regardless of the squat in the rear suspension. Mine were a tad high from the factory.
