just check the level on the backside of the headlight, if it still remains within the "0" area...you're good...no adjustments needed.

Putting on your lowered suspension probably is keeping your car much flatter, so it doesn't float as much--thus it appears to you that your lights aren't self-leveling. It's probably just that your car stays flat, so it dosn't need to change it's settings. The only time the autoleveler works is when it detects a differential between the front and the rear movement detectors--if it's too high up front, and low in the back, it will lower the HID beam to get the light back on the road, and vice versa.

Your "Check auto-leveling system" light doesn't come on, and it does its down-up diagnostics when you start up the car, and your HID leveling bubble is at the "0"--I wouldn't worry about it.

yeah as long as the headlight "light" doesn't come on on your dash, it's ok. if it comes on, that means the autoleveling is off, otherwise it's within spec.
