By your user name I'm assuming you have the Xenons.

They're not that fast at self adjusting and coupled with the increased brightness and flickering at the edges they can be more annoying than standard headlights.

Probably nothing wrong to be honest.

thx but defo something wrong .... its almost as if they are getting higher!! full beam now has the effect of lighting the underside of bridges. Its going in next week. If anybody else has had the same problem would appreciate knowing b4 thurs.
cheers.

I have an S3 with xenon headlights and had the very same problem. Many people were getting quite upset (mainly people I was following) and flashing me. I took it into audi and they checked it and said one of the lights was way off. They set it back to where it should be and said if it moves again then there is a problem with the self levelling control unit.
Hope this helps!!

both motors now replaced, its a known problem in Audi's secret dealer eyes only book!
Self adjusters get burnt out, and hence lights get higher and higher, or lower and lower!

Anyway car back tomorrow, bye bye A2
