    I got mine done at VW Village cos they were the closest you could also try Mullers in Lakemba.

    What part of Sydney are you in? No point trying to save a few dollars if you have to drive 60km and hang around like a shag on a rock

    Interesting to know!

    Also wondering if there is any adjustment (manual) for the Bi-Xenon Headlights?

    My drivers side seems a little low...

    Can an alignment only be done at VW? Or are there other places that can do an alignment of the headlights?

    Mine are functioning fine, do the dance on start up and swivel etc.
    But it just appears to have a low spread of light...

    Yeah, you can manually adjust them mate. I've done mine. Just need an allen key. There is a white adjustment screw on top of the light housing. I just adjusted mine up until i thought it was giving me a good sight distance.

    Thanks for that, I knew the adjustment screw was there; but didn't think I could use this with the Xenons.
    I will give it a try!
