Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Registered prior to an accident: 2006 volkswagen jetta headlight system : the low beams and the high beams are not independently adjustable. while the low beams are normal to good quality while illuminating the roadway, the high beams are set too high. the high beams are not usable for night time driving in ''open range'' country. they do not illuminate anything on the roadway and are essentially useless. an estimate is at about 100 ft distance in front of the vehicle the center of the high beam is about 10 ft above the roadway. to see a person or animal on the roadway at a distance of 500 ft is impossible. the vw dealer said there is nothing that can be done to lower the high beam aim point. this is the only vehicle in 50 years of driving that i have had this problem with. *nm
