How to Adjust an Audi Q5 Headlight


1. Park your Audi Q5 on a level patch of ground with a large wall in front of it. The SUV should be 1 foot away for measurements with 25 feet of room to back up for beam evaluation.
2. Place a long strip of tape from the center of the driver's side headlight lens across the center of the passenger side lens. Then take two small strips of tape and place one vertically over the center point of each lens.
3. Measure down 2 inches from the long horizontal strip at the center point of the passenger's side lens and make an X with the chalk. For the driver's side, measure down 2 inches and 1 inch to the right of the small vertical strip and make an X.
4. Back the Audi Q5 up 25 feet and turn on the headlights. Open the hood and locate the adjustment screws. One will be on the top center of the headlight assembly, the other on the inside center. These control the headlight's vertical and horizontal axis.
5. Move the adjustment screws with a standard screwdriver until the beam from each headlight hits the X.
