Default anyone has a problem with the HID adjust lower after install F-sway?

Hi i just wonder if anyone has this problem, well I installed the F-sport sway bar myself yesterday, and tonight I was driving and saw my afs lights pointed lower than before I was adjusted. Can anyone tell me how to fix this, I installed every correctly and have no afs blinking on the dash or anything. I know when uninstalled the front sway bar I have to remove the afs link, but i installed it back to the place on the new sway, anyone know that could be that link? thanks

I don't think the sways should effect the HID aim. Did you hit the rear sensor when you put the new bar in? It is a little tight back there. Can't comment on the front as I didn't change my front sway.

no didn't touch the rear sensor, but i did remove the front link sensor to install the front sway, i think that one may effect that, but i put it back.

As long as they are in the same configuration, you shouldn't have any issues due to those sensors. You can always adjust your lights.

If the sensors are in the proper orientation, I wouldn't mess with them. I would adjust the headlight aim. When I had the 335i, the headlights were aimed low, so I just raised them manually using the adjustments on the back of the headlight.

You could always adjust the aim of the headlight manually. Maybe because your car is lower now, the light points lower too. It happen to me so you shouldn't panic.
