Anyone re-aim their HID's via sensors after a drop?
Hey guys... i dropped my car a few months ago, and now my lights are higher up in view. The extra visibility is great, but i feel that i'm blinding those in front of me, let alone those from the opposing direction.
Having said that, i don't want to mess with the aim of the lights individually as they are in sync... hence why i want to adjust them via height sensors in the suspension.
Has anyone done this before?

Leave it be, you would have to manually adjust the height sensor to offset the amount of drop the vehicle has. The height sensor has a range of motion, as long as it isn't maxxed out you will be fine. The added visibility is probably due to the drop in the rear being greater than the front.

Im just not a big fan of blinding people on the road. yeah its fun having people move out of your lane for the first day or two, but i do a lot of night time driving, and dont feel great about distracting other drivers.

The one to move is the right rear wheel sensor. The front right does not need to be adjusted.
Remove the wheel , and loosen the 10 mm nut that is on the arm from the knuckle . The arm is going towards the diff from the wheel and located closer towards the front of the car .
It has a large U bracket, slide it down and it raises the height of the headlights , up will lower the headlights.Then tighten it up and your done.
