Headlights OEM Toyota or OEM Volkswagen

In my case, about 1/2 to 3/4 CCW turn with philips screwdriver did the trick - now headlights aim just a little higher on each side… Importantly, I am not getting flashed by oncoming drivers while using the low-beam headlights.

I ended up adjusting mine by 0.5 turns and they're great now. I guess yours could be even worse from the factory than mine were.

Am I the only one who thinks they should bring back standardized headlights?

Ask the dealer if they adjusted the headlight aim after the lift. If not, then the lift is affecting lighting performance.

Especially since upgrading to ADB (adaptive driving beam) headlights. Dynamic Light Assist (DLA) in VW speak. Best mod ever. If you drive at night, this is a game changer for night vision, spotting deer etc.

Definitely upgrade the headlights to HID's, stock they are marginal at best.

In my experience, the headlights aren't bad but I liked the ones on my 2017 more. The 2020 has a brighter light, but it doesn't look like as much of the road in front of me is illuminated.

Our 2023 toyota had those lights and had that automatic hi to low beam sensor shit.We got that turned off because there was bugger all difference between hi and low beam and we were constantly flashed on low beam for being too bright. I dont understand why the did this to new cars.

I’ve been dealing with the same issue for months. Got into a minor fender bender that led to the driver’s side headlight being replaced. The first had damage to the high beam, the second arrived with a scratch across the lens, number 3 filled with condensation that turned into huge water droplets within a day, and number 4 is doing the same. All OEM headlights directly through VW.

the stock headlights are awful. I’ll need a bulb upgrade (at a minimum) right away.
