Default Active Leveling Adjustment

Is there someway to adjust the active leveling system in the GS, my HIDs seem to be aimed so low its rediculas. Could there be something wrong with the system? No warning lights are on.

you can adjust them to where you want them and the auto leveler will set them back to that position everytime you start the car.

the adjustment screw is in the back of the headlight, i think it was a 10mm.

if your car is lowered, actually you should adjust the leveling sensor positions on the driver side front and rear suspension.

it's on the driver side, front and rear. you will probably need to take off the wheel to get easy access. it's close to the bottom control arm, something like a "slide" where the sensor is and you can control the up and down of the sensor. basically you can just adjust the rear sensor.

i think if you lower its position, the headlights will aim lower. if you raise it, the headlights will raise up a bit

umm i don't have any pics, i have just seen it before when the car is on the lift.

if you take off the rear wheel (seriously adjust the rear would be more than enough), you should see it right beind the rotor. you can see a sliding mechanism and a bolt to tighten it down. if you loosen the bolt, you can then slide that thing up and down, and if you turn on your headlights, you will see the headlights going up and down
