My 2014 GTI headlights are fine now I have raised them to the correct level. From the factory they were dangerously low with the abrupt cut off only about 10ft in front of the car.

I had noticed that exact same issue with my car too. The lights albeit well lit focused/aimed too close to the front of the car. On dark roads it barely lit up any range

Also going to get that done, going to take it to an MOT test and ask for them to raise as high as possible within the law.

Managed to change them over today, despite it being a bit of a ballache to do I eventually got there. I would say that they look MUCH brighter but honestly that could be placebo, I didn't take a solid mental note of what the old ones where like.

But from what I can tell they project much further into the road than the stock bulbs.
