Re-Aiming Lights after Lowering?
A friend and I noticed that his headlights beam positions may have been affected (in a bad way) due to his 2" lower stance. Just wondering has anyone ever considered re-aiming thier beams after altering thier vehicle's height. Should someone not bother with a milder drop like 1.5" ?

TIA

IMO this may be common sense but I wanted to see if people actually took this into thought? Im sure it would be advantageous to adjust them.

I did... I noticed it right away after I installed my D2's. Only took me 1.5 years to get around to doing it...

Yes. I reaimed both my headlights and my foglights after I got my springs.

It was a huge difference even with just my H&Rs. Do it.

Adjusting them makes a huge difference.All it takes is a philips screwdriver and a wall.

Mine broke off to the point where it was just a metal stub.I used a socket and jambed it on top of it to turn it.

I used a 10mm wrench IIRC on mine. Easy as pie.

Re-aim them, even with a 1.5 inch drop.
