Title: xenons adjustment?
Post by: Howardvwgolf on August 01, 2009, 11:36:49 am: I got my coilovers fitted on monday and since then it seems as though the lights dont project so far in front as before. Is there any way to adjust them so they look a little further in front?

Don't have xenons so could be wrong. Not quite sure what you mean other than beam height :stupid:

There is no height adjuster in the cabin on Xenon headlights, they have a sensor on the rear axel and auto level :happy2:

When I had mine lowered it took a couple of days for them to sort themselves out, are they still doing the up and down dance when you switch them on?

Over Ã‚Â£1000 right ?

This is a mod i might save up and get :smiley:

How difficult is it to fit Xenons to a Golf Mk5 which didn't have them originally? Meaning so it includes autolevelling etc.

You need to check if the levellers at the rear have been re-installed correctly as if they have been put on the wrong way you get symptoms like you are describing.
