How to adjust dipped headlights?

I have just gotten my new MK8, and its great, but the one thing ive noticed is the headlights are a little too dipped. When im on the motorway & there are no lights it gives me very little range. The light options on the right side of the steering wheel seem to only let me cycle through side lights, off, auto & dipped. Is there a way to set the dipped headlights to not be quite as dipped?

You could maybe check that the headlamp range control is properly set?

Sorry - I’d forgotten that all UK Golf Mk8s have LED headlights and so have automatic headlight level control - when you first switch on the headlights (in the dark!) you should see the beams move down and then up to the correct level. If they’re not doing this, or if they are and you feel the beam is aimed too low, then it’s probably a visit to the dealer.

You can adjust then yourself, there is adjusters on the headlights,i have done mine as they were way too low.It was the same with the MK7 i had, headlights aimed too low. Seems to be how VW set them at the factory.
