I recently hit a massive pothole and had to get 2 new tires and 4 new rims on my car. well when I got my vw back, I was driving at night and i turned my headlights on (low beams) and they point almost straight at the ground. maybe 15 feet of light in front of my car is lit up. They weren't like that before I hit the pothole? I went to have them adjusted and they said they got the beams to go up a little bit, but it doesn't look like it helped.

AIMING
The head lamps should be aimed using a special alignment tool, however this procedure may be used for temporary adjustment. Local regulations may vary regarding head lamp aiming, consult with your local authorities.
SOURCE: head / fog light adjustment
on each headlamp assembly, there will be either one or two plastic nuts that you can turn.
If you only have one nut on each, that will adjust the vertical aim of the headlights.
If you have two nuts on each, one will adjust the vertical and the other will adjust the horizontal.
Park
your car on a level ground 30 feet from a wall and measure the height
from the ground to the bulb and mark on a wall (do this for highs beams
and low beams if the bulbs are separate, if highs and lows are the same
bulb, only do it for the lows)
If the headlights read VOR, then
aim the brightest part or cutoff part just below the mark on the wall.
If it says VOL or nothing, aim them 2 inches below the mark on the wall.

sometimes the headlights stick to the adjusters,just pull/push(wiggle it)to free it, then try setting beams.
