My Ride: 2008 Silverstone II E60 M5 2012 E70 AW X5 50i Sport w/ LCI Aero Kit and Rocker Panels
Thumbs down

So I had my car lowered yesterday and it seems that the headlights are pointing not as high up the road as they used to. The left front light, lights up the road maybe 20 yards ahead of me, which is not good. I can't see that far in front of me at higher speeds. The road is dark as night past that 20 yard mark.

Has this happened to anyone? The adaptive (left/right) seems to be fine, but when I turn the lights on, they don't level to the line they used to.

I tried adjusting the lights myself under the hood, but it didn't help. Anyone? Could have lowering the car done this?

Check for a damaged or crooked auto levelling sensor under the car ...during the shocks/springs replacement

Where is that sensor exactly Nick? Is it possible they dinged up the sensor upon installing the springs?

Couldn't I just go back to the dealer and have the xenon's "reprogrammed" back to their original light height?

I didn't realize that the light sensor is under the car, but it would make sense as to why my lights are no longer "leveling" when I turn on my car at night.
