Headlight adjustment
« on: April 06, 2010, 08:45:08 pm »
Hi all, just fitted eibach sportline springs and am having bother with my lights. They are Xenon and have auto level function but seem to be pointing to the ground  :sad1: .
This may seem strange but the auto level blip up and down doesnt look as big as it used to???  :scared:

Anyone any advice on this, is it something simple i have missed?

your levelling sensors will be thinking the car is full of weight etc due to the lowering - so pointing the lights down to the ground.  this pic borrowed from another forum should help you check how far out they are  :happy2:

Adjustment seems a bit complicated - I suggest you just swap headlights with me and my standard ones  :evilgrin:

If there was something wrong with the start up motors it'd show up on vcds. Maybe worth a check.
