To do anything, does anyone no the reason for this?

Did you retrofit them?
Are they projector headlamps or have you put hid kit into reflector lamps?

They have been retrofitted , they are genuine xenons.
How have they been george apart from dazzling the old bill haha , take them to an m.o.t place and see if they can adjust them for you.

They've been retrofitted and are genuine xenon .
Apart from blinding the police they've been brilliant mate. I took them to an m.o.t station and they couldn't adjust them :/
He said they adapter could've come off the ballast or summing. Ether way the problems got to be solved. He threatened me with 3 points, what a dick!
But they're definitely worth the 6 hours of fitting stress :P
She goes in monday for her transformation so I'll come meet you when it's done dude.

No sensors fitted anywhere unfortunatly
-
They're double the legal height haha!
I'll give you a shout mate.
There were no levelling sensors ect. According to the majority you don't need auto levelling ect.
That link doesn't work btw.

jesus haha , ermm when you adjust them do they not go up and down at all? and both of them dont adjust ? thats a tad odd
-
The left one is high but not too bad, the right one is ridiculous. Neither of them would adjust, hopefully it's something simple! Cba to waste any more money.

I assume you're adjusting them with the two white allen screws on the headlight units themselves?

Yes I'm adjusting them on the white screws..
I take it I need a vag com to do that? Either way they won't adjust manually :/
-
Just a thought, are the bulbs fitted correctly?

I believe so mate.
