Adjust auto leveling lights

[monsoongreya3]

Hi,

I'm new in obdeleven. Recently I install the eibach pro kit lowering springs in my car and since then the headlights are aiming lower than it was before. My car is an 2014 A3 8V and it has the xenon lights with auto leveling option (so no dial in the lights switch). Is there any way to recalibrate the headlights via obdeleven or I had to go to the dealer to make the adjustments?

Thanks in advance!

^^^ try this

Procedure 1

1. Select hex 55 - Xenon Range module
   
2. Select Basic Settings
   
3. Select Basic headlamp setting and start the procedure
4. This is where you would adjust the headlights using their manual adjusting screws as referenced against a suitable aiming target - but in your case go to the next step
   
5. Wait a period of time (suggest 10 seconds)- then stop the procedure
   

Procedure 2 (still in Basic Settings)

1. Select Acknowledge basic setting and start the procedure
2. The reference settings from Procedure 1 above should now be "recorded" in the module
3. Wait a period of time (suggest 3 seconds)- then stop the procedure
4. Back-out of the module, clear any error codes and exit OBD11 software (don't forget to disconnect the OBD11 dongle)

I do the steps you said and now the headlights aims a lot higher than it was before. Also a warning message appears during the first step that sais "headlight range control: System Fault!".
I dont know what it's going on but it's not works for me. Is there any other solution?

monsoongreya3: I'm not familiar with "eibach pro kit lowering springs" - so I can't comment on what changes are required to integrate the retrofit into the HID leveling mechanism on the car.

The procedures that I suggested calibrate the car's normal headlight alignment. It tells the car where to aim the headlights on level ground. It doesn't usually result in a system fault error message with OEM equipment. Clearly on your car, the new springs have affected the aiming system. Perhaps contact the manufacturer of the new springs?
