lowering and headlight adjustment

[Matt 16v]

will the lights on my 172 need manualy adjusting after lowering or will the xenons level themselves, my previous cars need adjusting afterwads, but i've never had one with these type of lights before.

If you lower the car then the xenons will need adjusting. iirc theres a little grey part on the back of the light you adjust.

is there a way to get it right by adjusting it yourself? how much should i adjust it if sportlines are goin on...i guess it depends on each individual car?

 

[Fletcher]

I'm pretty sure you can do it yourself, it's just a case of trial and error.

it's a white allen-bolt on the rear of each headlight, but to be done correctly you really need a garage to check the levels once adjusted.

I'm soon to be lowering my 182Cup. AFAIK the Cup lights are not self levelling, so the lower ride hight shouldn't fook them up? Correct?

Yep only cars with Zeons have the adjuster on the rear ale.

Hmm, i might take a measurement on my wall in the dark before i lower the car, if i then matched it up against the mark after its lowered (proving the car is parked at the same position) would that give me a correct level??

Its not a bad idea.
