Auto-levelling Headlights

[Muri777]

didn't know where to post this so thought id make a general chat area

my question is - does the R have auto leveling headlights much like the golf R?

thanks and sorry for the silly question, currently watching every available youtube video about sciroccos as I'm patiently waiting to take delivery of mine in a couple of weeks (dealer said around 8th or 11th)

thanks!

EDIT: like at the start of this vid:

Yes, the Scirocco R has auto levelling headlights fitted as standard in Oz

As above. Keep an eye out for the way they say hello when you first start her at night. Very cool.

They sure do! This is always the talking point for when my friends haven't seen it before

Love that noise! I almost wet myself when the dealer started the car to let me go for a test drive

I assume he means the same way my R36 does it when you start it

Not sure what I'm looking at there? Does it "blink" for the lack of a better word?

They turn on aimed and focused, then open up to a full width/height, then aim outwards and back in, then lower back down and focus.

How pointless...?

[Muri777]

nah its used as an auto-leveling thing, but at the same time it looks pretty cool

my parents cars do it also

Auto leveling is required when HID lights are fitted as is head light washers

Yeap, exactly the same. Sorry, I thought you were asking for a front on video of what it looked like here - http://www.vwwatercooled.com/forums/...tml#post908302

But yeah, I assume it's like those old forcefeedback steering wheels for the computer that went mental spinning around to calibrate themselves when you first plugged it in..

The auto-levelling sequence is a very cool thing for those who have never seen it before.
Question though, I have found the headlights on my 'Roc to be aimed quite low once they do their auto-levelling and the distance that the beam covers isn't great compared to my previous car. Is there a way of adjusting the focal point? Similar to the adjustment screws of traditional halogen globe headlight assemblies.
