    So my car has adaptive headlights but they only work for like 5mins once you turn them on and then I Havta deal with the stupid yellow light blinking in my face so my question is can convert my car to the non adaptive headlights and not have that stupid light. And to answer ur question of why don't I just go to the dealer and get it fixed is no thanx I'm not paying that much money just so my head light moves ... Thanx any input appreciated

    Is it the dipped headlight warning? If so, simple fix with a VAGCOM. Find someone in your area with a VAGCOM in the VAGCOM forum in VW vortex. Much easier / cheaper than replacing your headlights.

    Does it look like this? If so, this is the "dipped beam" error/warning.

    I'm not sure...there are some mass threads over on AZ. From what I have read, it is not a cut and dry solution. Mine came on once and then went away so I'm crossing my fingers.
