For those who are lowered...

Have you guys noticed that your headlights don't illuminate as far down the road? I have to take my car in to the dealer to get my seat worked on so I was thinking of getting them to check and adjust my headlights. It will cost me $45 though. Am I seeing things or has anyone experienced this too.

Not me, the Xenon lights are still bright as F%uck and light the road so good, I still get a$$holes who occasionally flash me thinking I have my highbeams on...

I guess theorectically the lights should be lower of the front is lowered more than rear. Question is, is it significant enought to make a difference. I have not noticed any difference.

the way i dropped mines is kinda higher in the rear than the front abit. I had to do this to give it the flush look on both sides, so the front is facing down alittle, but not enough not to see down the road or anything though..

That's funny. I was just thinking about this last night. It isn't too much of a difference, but was enough to where I have to use my high beams on a down-hill slope. I'll adjust when I have time.

Thanks guys. Just to be sure, I think I'll have them check them out since I do a fair amount of driving at night.

I adjusted mine after lowering it. I definetely would pay to have them adjusted. Adjustment is extremely easy and you can do it in about 3 minutes with a 10MM socket. $45 is price ridiculous

easy way to adjust headlight is this. i did it last night. park eight feet from garage garage, turn headlights on. to raise or lower the lights there is a little gear with a bolt on the back it looks similar to a bottle cap. use a decent size phillips head screw driver and turn it like a 90 degree gear would turn. from eight feet away your hot spot should be about at 23-25 inches measuring from the ground. if you want me to post pics of the gear like thing i will.but really it took me about 5 minutes to do this without instructions.
