In my case, about 1/2 to 3/4 CCW turn with philips screwdriver did the trick - now headlights aim just a little higher on each side… Importantly, I am not getting flashed by oncoming drivers while using the low-beam headlights.
I ended up adjusting mine by 0.5 turns and they're great now. I guess yours could be even worse from the factory than mine were.
Especially since upgrading to ADB (adaptive driving beam) headlights. Dynamic Light Assist (DLA) in VW speak. Best mod ever. If you drive at night, this is a game changer for night vision, spotting deer etc.
Guys, I have successfully retrofitted genuine SEL Premium LED headlights to the car. This was the most challenging retrofit I'd ever done, not because of the wiring, but because of the coding and troubleshooting.
Headlights on this car are probably one of the better ones.
Yeah, I've been super happy with the headlights on the 7.5's too. The turn tracking and uphill/downhill movement is nice too.
In my experience, the headlights aren't bad but I liked the ones on my 2017 more. The 2020 has a brighter light, but it doesn't look like as much of the road in front of me is illuminated.
VW OEM parts are expensive as fuck, VW Dealers wont give you the part number so you can source it cheaper either, they're called stealerships for a reason, partners VW Beetle was $1500 for 1 headlight.
I’ve been dealing with the same issue for months. Got into a minor fender bender that led to the driver’s side headlight being replaced. The first had damage to the high beam, the second arrived with a scratch across the lens, number 3 filled with condensation that turned into huge water droplets within a day, and number 4 is doing the same. All OEM headlights directly through VW.
I prefer the 987 front end to my 986 fried egg headlights.
