It's just for recalibration. The MKV Xenon's used to move up and down. Does the MK6 only move left and right, or up and down too?

Both - they go down, then out, then in, then up.

I noticed that my car doesn't always recalibrate the lights but when it does the start-up pattern is left & right then up & down and then straight ahead.

I also noticed that the Xenon's bend around corners more than the Xenon's in my GTI.

I'd almost buy the xenons on my next car just for the calibration procedure :biggrin:

Should make a little video of it, they both turn outwards, then inwards then down and up or up/down can't remember that part then centre ;)

I'm almost tempted to go downstairs and do it, but then I'd have to walk back up the stairs

LOL no but I should. Have been working on an issue at work since 1pm and still going so the brain is starting to get slow. Only break I had was the drive home from the office and a quick blast to a mates a couple hours ago to relax!
