    Question Is there a way to adjust the Tiguan highline headlights?

    When driving home the other day I noticed that the lights on my Highline didn't seem to be illuminating the road far enough ahead of me.

    Any ideas how I can check the setting for this or anyone confirm if there highline has a way to adjust the vertical light level?

    It's auto adjusted.

    Ok, that might explain it. So the dealer would have to program an adjustment?

    I had mine adjusted at the dealer, I found the lighting too low, making it difficult to drive especially across mountain roads.

    You can adjust it using an allen key on the back of the headlight.

    Thank you, is there a video or instruction on how-to somewhere?

    How does one adjust the self leveling headlights with an Allen key?

    Is it the low beam or high beam that is too low?

    Have it checked by the dealer before fiddling with the height as there are many things that might lead to them being low. If the high beam is OK I would say the low beam is correct also. You also need to know how to layout the proper height lines on a wall and the distance the car is from that wall.
