Is there a way to adjust the Tiguan highline headlights?

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

Really, any update at all VW will give to anyone? I find that very hard to believe. A lot of things have changed in 9 years I would reckon. How would those updates get delivered and applied when it is in VW speak on their systems, Snapon reader?

There are at least 10 brands of the dedicated pass through boxes available. I’ve used Autologic back then and applied sw updates to every control module across the vag cars many times.
Today, I use Bosch KTS570 and also have Gscan2 that works also as the path through box. All you need is the subscription.

You said that VW will give you the updates. So any update is obtainable from VW by any technician?

Ah so the foreman just ended up adjusting via the HL screws. Yeah going to do that myself too. Pretty straightforward, I just thought there an electronic adjustment option that dealers use..I guess not.

Also - screw clockwise = raise beam? Anti-clockwise = lower beam?

Presumably you are talking about the white screws about 12mm diameter with the Torx head set vertically on each light unit.. How much of a turn does it need to lift them a bit??? TIA

Anticlockwise = raise beam
Clockwise = lower beam

Anticlockwise = raise beam
Clockwise = lower beam

Oh dear I did half a turn clockwise as I thought it meant above so how much of a turn does it need

I will turn them back tomorrow but would like an idea of how far to do it Thanks


UPDATE

So i put them back to where they were by half a turn anticlockwise.. marked on garage door where the top of the cutoff is Turned the white vertical screw (Only one I could see) 1 turn ANTI clockwise Didnt seem to do anything so did it another turn ANTI clockwise and still didnt seem to alter by any noticeable amount Door is about 800mm from lights

How many turns does it take

It can take a few turns. My suggestion is to park further away from the garage door as you'll be able to see the effects of each turn.

Good point - if you are close and couple mm increase can translate to quite a bit more 30-40m down the road...

Yeah I realise that Just where I live is hard to get somewhere at night to do it without disturbing neighbors as we live in a village and houses are close together
