You will need to have your headlights adjusted, yes. Get it done at your local dealership as it requires the VAG-COM or equivalent to reprogram the levels. Will cost anything from £0 - £30.

As for tracking and camber, both must be done after lowering without fail, as both will be out. I don't know the exact values you will need for these though, just that you will need to do it. I took mine to a garage and had it done.

Plenty of topics on the forum if you have a look around or do a search ;)

Hope this helps

Cheers

are you sure you need vag com to adjust your headlights?

i found a screw in the back of the headlight unit which you can just turn to aim them up or down :?

As above.

From what I've read, the screw will adjust them, but they won't stay like it!
