Headlight brilliance

[Mark Byrum <markbyrum@erols.com>]

I am unsure why so much bandwidth is devoted to euro-lights v. usa
lights v. H1's v. H4's, etc.  When I bought my 86 4kcsq about a year and
a half ago, I was not a Quattro subscriber, thus knew nothing of this
thread.  I picked the car up from the previous owner after dark,
however, and immediately that the headlights didn't illiminate up ahead
"worth Jack." I assumed that whomever last adjusted them messed up and
pointed them too low.  I got my tools out and re-adjusted them upwards
until I was happy with the low-beam performance.  At high-beam they are
better than low-beam, which is appropriate.  Now that I have "read the
thread(s)" and understand the allegations of deficient German
Engineering(?) as respects this aspect of Audi's, I suspect I may have
over-adjusted the lights just after I bought the car.  If, when the car
is inspected next month, the lights are discovered to be aimed too high,
I will notice the number of "turns" taken off the adjuster screws, and
promptly put them back on when I get the car home.  When I have the
opportunity and spare cash to put into driving lights, I will attempt to
install them below the bumper, hopefully within an opening in the air
dam.  Until then, I will let my screwdriver make the necessary change
rather than my check-book for euro-lights.
