When i try to adjust the main dipped lights on my Audi A3 they do not seem to move?

Could there be a problem with the adjustment switch inside, which is located beside the dimmer switch for the dash lights?When i try to adjust the main dipped lights on my Audi A3 they do not seem to move?Good news... Bad news. The good news is that nothing is wrong with your A3. The bad news is that you can't adjust your headlights.



Your A3, along with most other newer Audi models, has "headlight range control." When your headlights come on, do they move down and back up? Audi uses a sensor near the back of the car, one at the front of the car, and one in each headlight to level the headlights. If you have more weight in the back your headlights would shine up in the eyes of oncoming motorists. But, the Headlight Range Control Module is given signals from these sensors and knows that the rear of the car is sitting lower than the front. It sends a signal to the headlight adjustment motor and moves the headlights down to compensate.



Why can't you adjust them? Every time you move the adjustment screw, and in turn the headlight, the sensor in the headlight sends its position to the Headlight Range Control Module. The Module then adjusts the motor to try to level the headlights. Every time you move it, the car moves it back. You need someone with an Audi scan tool to disable the Headlight Range Control Module while the headlights are adjusted. It may be possible with the "VAG-COM" software. I am not sure, as I only use Audi scan tools. The address word is: 55-Headlight Range Control. If you don't have access to VAG-COM you will have to take it to an Audi dealer to have them adjusted.
