Is there a way to adjust the Tiguan highline headlights?

[Simonr23]

Without reading the manual, I’m assuming it’s the angle the low beam swings. The light you’re thinking of is the static cornering lamp.

Hope someone can clear up for me what the Dynamic Cornering Light settings adjust in "Individual" drive setting?
Theres a choice or Eco, Normal and Sport, but I'm not sure what it is adjusting?

I don't think it's the speed at which the cornering lights come on. They seem to light up around <35km/hr when indicator is on regardless of which setting I choose.
This is the light assembly I have

And finally, as part of the OP's observations, I didn't think too much about the headlights being a bit low until over ANZAC weekend I was away in country NSW, and really noticed in dimly lit roads how low they were...
I need to get around to bumping them up slightly

How do you arrive at that screen which so far I havent seen in my fiddling

Just press the drive select button until you get to “individual” and then select “change” and it brings up this menu to customise the settings.
Not sure if the settings differ between comfortline and highline models...

Got that thanks am trying it to see what it feels like but cant really tell the difference from Comfort

Got stop start shut off but it wont do Light assist

So just got back from the dealer. After a couple of hours of waiting (including a software update), they came back and said there was nothing they could do to adjust the headlights. They quoted the manual (which states our dynamic headlights are auto adjusted and levelling cannot be altered). They photocopied and highlighted the manual - it does actually state that.

What BS, I adjusted mine 4 weeks into owning the car.

Then again dealers/service tech guys are all young apprentices (majority). I had a sticky beak at the team at VW Liverpool (NSW) and most of the techs look like they've just finished Year 12. Also my mate was a master tech at Skoda/VW and same deal, his team was made up with 90% inexperienced kids.

Agreed. I just ended up adjusting mine by myself. They didn't even suggest the option of a manual adjustment.

If I was to take my car to a respected Indy VW mech (instead of dealer), will that void my warranty? Very aware of the high inexperience in workmanship at the dealers..

Nope, as long as they are a qualified mechanic, use all OEM parts and/or VAG/VW approved fluids then your warranty stands as-is

That is not always the case and in today's world the dealer generally has far more knowledge though everyone will tell you that is not the case. You certainly cannot get software updates from anyone but a dealer and a lot of stuff is impossible for anyone but a dealer to deal with.

Any workshop can get get software updates if they want to. I was doing software updates on the early gen1 Tiguans and other VAG cars around 2010
