Anyone with the Audi r8 style lights know how to adjust the beams mine are way out and lighting up loads of stuff there not supposed to be!

Not sure I'm afraid. Can you not fiddle about with the bulbs from the back of the unit?

There are 4 bolts on the rear of the audi style lights, 2 on each headlamp.

Although I'm not sure if all audi style lights are the same, as mine has the electric adjuster and yours doesn't.

Yeah I found them eventually. Couldn't leave them how they were beams we're shining up at a stupid angle specially on the motorway lighting up signs really far off that it shouldn't have been. I'll find out how good of a job I did tomorrow on the way to work

I find my lights not that bright even though I thought projector lenses where meant to help make them better. Although the standard bulbs that come with them aren't the best I bet.

I upgraded to Philips blue visions one day after getting mine. Standard bulbs were good but the blue visions are even better. I thought projectors were supposed to be much better aswell but maybe not?

Im thinking about swapping mine out too now. Completely messed up the alignment of my right headlight and pretty much drove to work on one headlight this morning. If I can sort it then I'll keep them but if not might have to go back to standards.

what you need is put your standard lights in, drive up to a wall or garage door and then mark where the beam sits then without moving your car, put your aftermarket lights in line the beam up to where the standards were
