Only started to notice now its getting abit darker, but my headlights seem to be
pointing down and only shine around 3 metres in front of the car :angry:
I inderstand they have adjusters on the rear,
Maybe just take it VW best idea, Just thought i'd check make sure im not being stupid,

when you got the springs fitted, did they damage/disconnect the self-levelling sensors from the suspension?
If if reconnected properly, the fact that you've lowered the car may "upset" the self levelling mechanism and the parameters it expects for your car height
They may need to be readjusted - there are a few threads on VW Vortex regarding this

Found a link for you :)

Had the same concern with my Leon the xenons didn't seem to shine as far as halogens in front of the car. Took it to the dealer and they reckon that all xenons are like that. The benefit they give is giving a wider field of vision, thats what they reckon anyway......

Do they carry out the initial "self alignment" calibration?
-
Car was at dealer today and it seemed they needed setting up again,
Lots lots better know :D
Also i said about my Paddles have the very edge peeling is very small but
thought i would try get some new ones,
Im having new Paddles and also a new steering wheel :D Bonus, (although backorder at present)
They also wiped my Revo as new upgrade but will sort that soon,
All washed and a nice VW airfreshner,
Happy with that,

I take it you mean when you start up they the left and right beams move left and right then towards each other then if I remember correctly up and down- then yes they do.....so aids the techs conclusion that the beam pattern is correct.

That is the calibration pattern for the "adaptive" headlamps. For conventional, or B-Xenons, they simply go up and down.
